Kramnik again "shafted" Nigel Short, in Shorts words, notching his third win to land just a half-point behind Carlsen heading into tomorrows final round. Carlsen is lucky to have ...

  The Daily Dirt Chess News Blog — Authority: 474
  Back from a quick jaunt to California with a bad cold, courtesy of a Jetblue passenger I can only hope feels even worse than I do. Hack, sneeze. At least Ponomariov and Gelfand have played a pretty tedious/exhausted affair of a final match. Tiebreaks tomorrow. Magnus Carlsen was very close to starting out the London ...
