Hello everyone,
Hello everyone,
As things stand, Hikaru Nakamura has taken lead at the London Chess Classic 2011 after six rounds. But World No. 1 is right behind!
All four games were drawn on Friday but all were enjoyable enough. As you know, the 2011 London Chess Classic is taking place in the Olympia Conference Centre from Saturday, December 3rd until Monday, December 12th, starting at 14:00h London time each day (final round 12:00h). Time controls are classical forty moves in two hours, then twenty moves in one hour and thirty minutes for the rest of the game. A win is counted as three points, a draw as one, and a loss zero. You can access the live broadcast at the official website here.
Round 6: Friday, December 9, 2011
Michael Adams ½-½ Levon Aronian
Vishy Anand ½-½ Vladimir Kramnik
David Howell ½-½ Nigel Short
Luke McShane ½-½ Hikaru Nakamura
Magnus Carlsen (bye) – assisting commentary
