I've now seen how the games played out...
so the only winner was Mickey Adams, lol go figure!
Good draw for Carlsen though ensures him and Kramnik are still tied heading into round 4, where Vlad has a bye (so a 2 day rest for him, lucky!)
But with 2 wins out of 2, could Adams spoil the show here?
Do Levon or Polgar have an outside chance at all now?

Originally posted by 64squaresofpainWell Adams has started really well, obviously, but he still has to play the top four players so his results against them will decide it. He's a great player, his win against Polgar was excellent! He's got tougher opposition to come though, i'd be very surprised if he won it but he's should finish in the top half this year. Kramnik looks to be in excellent form, Carlsen is arguably the strongest he's ever been. Mickey might get chances against Aronian, who seems out of sorts. You never know how Anand is going to play these days, he could possibly cause and upset there...who knows. 🙂

killer move ...Qc5 and McShane battling on for the life of him. It was excellent to see
the grandmasters trying to work out what was going on, half the time they had no idea,
Daniel King is a gentleman and Nigel short a first class jester of legendary proportions,
at one point he was told to pipe down the laughter, it was too much for the broadcast.
Steven Gordon has a really annoying accent and Lawrence Trent looks like he wants to
sell you a fake rolex, David Howell and Chris Ward were awesome.
