David is ahead on the clock against Tomashevsky - you read it here first and by the time you go and look, he may not be.

Nepo-Carlsen. V interesting - that will give the Norwegian TV crowd value for money.

Aronian has played his first 15 moves in 36 seconds against David - who hasn't.

Anna Rudolph says this is right, so presumably we should know who has the best tie-break scores before the last round starts.JustinHorton wrote:Lacking the competence to either find this year's regulations or entirely understand last year's, am I right in thinking that there are no extra games if there are joint winners, but the tiebreaker for places will involve average rating of opponents?

Re: WORLD RAPID & BLITZ CH - DOHA 2016
Oh dear - shame for Anand.
Carlsen on Board 1 for the last round - I wonder if Alex will be watching the game instead of explaining for pages why this is right. Not that I actually disagree with him - it's just that I'd rather have people talking about the games, but everyone to their own. And to be fair, Alex has done a lot more for chess in this country than I have!
