Lev Aronian has won again to move to 5/6. He plays Caruana with black in the last round who is attempting to convert an extra pawn to reach 4/6. Naiditsch-Carlsen & MVl-Meier were both drawn.

First time I've had the chance to watch the commentary here - very entertaining.

Only just had the chance to watch. Caruana-Aronian looks to have been fantastic entertainment and potentially plenty still left.

Peter Doggers report concentrates on the Caruana-Aronian game. Aronian spent 50 minutes on the winning position on move 42 and failed to find the win which would have been his fifth in a row. After that Aronian said he was lucky it wasn't him that got mated.
