From the opening Leko got large advantage, but now (after 26th black move) according to Rybka, Carlsens position isnt so bad - only 0,50-0,60. (To compare: after 21.Ne4, Rybka evaluated this position as 0,90 - 1,00.) So Carlsen have chances to draw.
Moro won. Thats some good news. Tacticians 4eva!!!

Svidler against Moro lost in one move in about even (or a little bit worse) position - 19.Qxc5?? was simply horrible. But anyway my respect to Moro - his performance in second part of tournament is really impressive.

Originally posted by Zander 88According to Rybka, Carlsen should have exchange both rooks on e1 also second rook 29...Rf8 looks like not good idea. Now After 31th move Leko advantage is larger (0,80-0,90).
Time is 11:34 Leko to 14:00 Carlsen. Move 31. Fritzes evaluation went up slightly. Doesn't look good for Carlsen.

Back to the topic: My fritz gives +1.20 for white so I think Leko is winning.

Originally posted by JusuhYour opinion about Carlsen is obviously prejudical. Also your comments expresses slighting attitude against Carlsen. Its the reasons why in my opinion "way you see it"(e.g. opinion) is based on your antipathy against Carlsen.
no, I am for Leko. I am not against Carlsen. If I post comments like "he has been little lucky, or his opponents have been playing badly etc" it does not mean I am against him. I am just telling the way I see it.

About game: After 36....Nb5?? (time trouble mistake) Leko found not too complicated 37.Re6 and now he is winning.
P.S. He should play 40.Rxf7! (instead of 40.a4) and Carlsen could resign, but time trouble sometimes makes strange things. But anyway Leko is winning.
