Round Thirteen
Most of the games are over now and Carlsen and Giri are the co-leaders and heading for a playoff.
These are the Round Thirteen results:
1. Karjakin-Carlsen 0.5-0.5
2. Wei Yi-Giri 0.5-0.5
3. Mamedyarov-Anand 0.5-0.5
4. Adhiban-Kramnik unfinished, with Kramnik about to win
5. Caruana-Svidler 0.5-0.5
6. Matlakov-Jones still in progress
7. So-Hou Yifan 1-0
So, the unofficial standings are:
1-2 Giri, Carlsen 9.0
3 Mamedyarov 8.5
4-5 Anand, So 8.0
6-7 Karjakin, Kramnik 7.5
8 Svidler 6.0
9 Wei Yi 5.5
10 Caruana 5.0
11-12 Jones, Matlakov 4.5
13 Adhiban 3.5
14 Hou Yifan
Even the commentators were not sure when the playoffs would come and so, took an extended break. One would think that Round Thirteen would be finished first.
In the Challengers, there are also two games unfinished Gordievsky-Korobov and it looks like Gordievsky might win and Amin-Bok.
The unofficial standings at the moment are
1 Vidit 9.0
2 Korobov 8.0
3-4 Xiong, Van Foreest, Jorden 7.5
5 Amin 7.0
6-7 Bluebaum, Gordievsky 6.5
8-9 L'Ami, Tari 6.0
10-12 Bok, Krasenkow, Van Foreest, Lucas 5.5
13 Harika 5.0
14 Girya 3.5
Later: A tweet from ChessBase:
There will be a tiebreak to decide the Tata Steel Masters between Anish Giri and Magnus Carlsen to be held 15 minutes after the conclusion of the final game in round 13.
