I think it's safe to assume that moves 6 and 7 didn't occur.

Of course there was something wrong there, but it amused me. Very strange.

Both Yang-Fan and Dan won again in round 7, so that they both now need only 1.5/2 for the GM norm. They are joint leaders on 5/7 along with GM Szabo of Romania. Meri Grigorian has 5/7 in the Open, a point behind the leader.

I see from Daniel's Facebook status that he got the GM norm. Congratulations to him.
