  Eggman: Ponomariov-Fridman has ended in a draw so Pono has not finished in first place.
Jul-22-12  Isbjorn: Interesting position, will take balls from Naiditsch to manage this.
Jul-22-12  Strongest Force: Man...those q-side pawns look like african army ants. Even elephants run when they are on the march.

  Eggman: Tournament is over. Karjakin and Caruana have tied for first with 6/9. Not sure what tiebreak system is in place.

Caruana wins the tiebreak due to his larger number of wins (second tiebreak, after number of games with Black).

But that's not the only live chess we have lined up. Starting tomorrow morning we'll be covering Biel, with top-seeds Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. Games start at 8:00am USA/Eastern. Hope to see you back for more!

Jul-24-12  visayanbraindoctor: 26.. Rxf2 is the beginning of one of the most creative perpetuals I have ever seen. In the end White is two rooks up, has three passed pawns in the Queenside, and has his whole 1st and 2nd ranks from Kindside to Queenside for his King to travel in.
