Mamedyarov will finish with a rating over 2800 if he draws or wins today. Though I am sure he will be thinking more about getting a big haul of Grand Prix points and his placing in this tournament.

Yes, a draw puts Shak ahead of MVL in the race for 1 of the 2 Candidates spots; a win would almost see him qualified, but a loss would put him behind MVL of courseChristopher Kreuzer wrote:Mamedyarov will finish with a rating over 2800 if he draws or wins today.

I'm guessing as MVL had a long game yesterday, and doesn't seem to think he has been playing well, a quick draw is possibly the result

Final round photos from Anastasiya Karlovich. Impressive performance rating of 2770 for Hou Yifan who clearly is happier playing the men.

MVL missing Geneva to play Dortmund
Any clue who is playing Geneva? I know that Giri, Svidler, Radjabov, Jakovenko, Eljanov, Li Chao, Rapport, Harikrishna, Gelfand, Aronian, Inarkiev & Riazantsev must be playing both Geneva & Mallorca (as they have each missed 1 of the first 2 GPs)

Thank you; I looked and couldn't find anything
MVL & Ding will know what they need to do; although Shak could be qualified by then; Grischuk is the other key player at Geneva
