Results after Game Three 10+10

6. So-Bluebaum 2-3

Results after Game Four 10+10

6. So-Bluebaum 4-2
So goes through to next round

How did Bluebaum turn a 3-2 lead into a 2-4 loss? If I were him I'd file an appeal with FIDE. That seems terribly unfair.

Go Anton! Can we really say its David beating Goliath if Anton just keeps doing it?

It's done, FIDE confirm Anand elimination. http://tbilisi2017.fide.com/results/

Congratulations GM Anton Kovalyov!

It looks like Anton plays Rodshtein who has just beaten Michael Adams.

Nakamura and Fedoseev are in the same bracket

Wow!!!

Besides Anton amazing play Fedoseev has impressed me too. He already has 2 miniatures (25 moves or less)!

Re: Rd2.2 Kovalyov - Anand

In the top 20 live its basically a sea of red. (except for Magnus) gotta love it!

[John Upper]

Rd2.2 Kovalyov - Anand

the round 2.2 draw in Kovalyov - Anand is annotated on the CFC Newsfeed:

http://chess.ca/newsfeed/node/998

Michael Adams just lost, so Anton plays Maxim Rodshtein in round 3.

Anton is now 84th in the world on the live list, and Rodshtein is now 47th, just under 2700.
