Actually, Carlsen is now tied for first. Your score table is wrong - Hao has two losses and a draw, not two draws and a loss. Carlsen has beaten him twice now.

Well, looks like Carlsen again begins to shine in the second half of the tournament. During the game it looked like he was worse at certain times, although I imagine Wang Hao wasn't as confident as some computer evaluations might have justified. It's quite a stressful and scary operation to play complicated endgames against Carlsen.
Bologan actually managed to draw today, which was a welcome change.
Furthermore I begin to wonder if Nakamura's Tata Steel win was a lucky break, or if he can aspire to higher goals. He hasn't been in very good form since that tournament, and ends up in the middle of the pack very often.

Nakamura seemed to have a small boost with Kasparov, but more back to his level now.

This seems similar to Biel few years ago, when Moro would have won had he not lost both games to the winner Carlsen.
Repeating itself with Hao as the actor this time.

It's amazing watchng this kid when he goes to work. wow.

Tournaments not over.

Please stop following games with your engines on! It just says 0.something, and then Magnus wins!

Hoa snatched defeat from the jaws of victory!
Carlsen still deserves credit for taking advantage of it as he is always inclined to do.
Hoa failed to get an advantage from a passer far from Magnus's king with 43.Qxa5 instead forces the trade of queens before snatching blacks a pawn that decided the game in the end. I haven't checked this with an engine but the error looks obvious enough to me not expecting that at the 2700 level.

Wow, Carlsen is on a roll! Say what you may, I don't think anybody stands a chance against him when he is in this kind of form. The guy has passion, tenacity and an ability to grind you to dust in any position. Simply fantastic!

You also have to applaud Giri, who is having a superb tournament.

Why is chessvibes potraying the crosstable in such a ridiculous way (showing seven players)? Just combine the results and indicate Morozevich/Bologan in the crosstable. Everybody knows what happened. This is VERY confusing.

"Magnus Carlsen collected six points in just two days"
Something very special that only Carlsen can do? Not quite, with football scoring "all it takes" are two consecutive wins - Wang Hao and Nakamura have done it before in the same tournament.

Did I not say that I expect Magnus to destroy his opposition in the last few games, AS USUAL.
Credit should be given to Magnus - he is consistent in destroying super-GMs at will if they are not Anand, Kramnik, Aronian, Grischuk, and few people like that.

At the end Magnus calculates one ply deeper than the others...

although i favor Carlsen, i'm very impressed with Wang Hao and i wouldn't mind at all if he managed to win Biel. He's also unlucky as in the match between them the draw slipped from his hands but Carlsen's tenacity is already legendary. As for Giri, we all know he's better than his current official rating.
