Round 9 all games drawn
Nakamura - Gelfand today - one will thus reach at least 6.5 which eliminates Grischuk from the Candidates qualification spot
Caruana has white against Tomashevsky, who has drawn every game so far, and surely must win to stay in contention for outright first

Re: Paris Grand Prix 2013
Caruana and Gelfand have won (as Gelfand often does against Nakamura with black I believe)
They share the lead on 6.5
Gelfand has white against Ponomariov and Caruana black against Dominguez in the last round

Re: Paris Grand Prix 2013
Draws today for Gelfand and Caruana (joint first) and Nakamura and Bacrot (joint third)
Mamedyarov qualifies for the Candidates
The wildcard has to be 2725 or higher on this list I think, so 16 choices

I believe that Caruana is first reserve if one of the 8 Candidates withdraws

Re: Paris Grand Prix 2013
At the world cup, there were two qualification slots, one of which was taken by Kramnik who had pre-qualified. Neither 3rd nor 4th are over 2725, which is interesting.
True glory lies in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read.
