    Yes I am following these. After this there is another rapid match between Kramnik and Aronian. I maintain at my personal website a list of international events where the top (10) GM's play. The link to my personal website is

    I hope there will be some exciting chess games from this. Quick Time Controls ought to prevent too many draws.

    So it is a Russian vs. a Hungarian, and Father Marijan is still able to get some Ukrainians in the photo. Nicely done!

    Ok, maybe not.

    Two games and two draws.

    I suppose I should not be surprised.

    But now winning starts. Remember Leko-Adams match. First Adams won 3 games, then Leko won 3 games and they finish remaining 2 games peacefully.
