Good draw with black for Mickey, think he will play Svidler tomorrow, not sure who will get white as both appear to be due white

[Leonard Barden]

Baden-Baden and St Petersburg are the only teams left with 100%, so their meeting could decide who wins the European Cup.

I highly recommend the game Naiditsch v Giri from today's match, a 26-move hack where the supposed future world champion finishes up with his king on e6 about to be eaten by White's queen and rooks.

Svidler - Adams drawn in 16 moves

[LozCooper]

Svidler - Adams drawn in 16 moves

Actually, they slugged it out until move 19 Five draws in that match with Shirov still playing: http://ecc2011.sahohlacnik.com/vzivo/LiveGames.html

[Mick Norris]

TWIC live games must have been updated ( or I can't read )

Motylev - Grischuk was only 18 moves, so assume Svidler and Grischuk are still tired after the World cup

[Mick Norris]

Shirov drew in 57, no-one else made it past 30

Last round should be interesting
