Magnus has drawn. Now he needs Caruana to either draw or lose. Both possible.

Well, unless Tomashevsky blunders his rook or similar it is hard to see how Fab is going to *win*......

Wrong Congress again. Not the first time I've done that ( it's what happens when you are 85 !)

3 way tie in the Challengers on 9/11 between Dreev, Safarli and Adhiban (who beat the 2 others and it would seem fair gets the spot in the Masters next year)

Caruana lost, so Magnus first outright. Congratulations Magnus.

In the final game of the event, Hou let a win slip against Giri - summing up what was ultimately a disappointing event after a bright start.

(losing to van Wely in the manner she did was arguably even more discouraging than chucking a half point against Magnus away)
