    • Anna Muzychuk - nicely played queen and pawn endgame to squeak out the win and clear first. Vaishali vs Goryachina was a draw.

      • Vidit played a nice pressure endgame to overcome reisistance from Niemannn.

        • L'Ami made Wojtaszek work for it but eventually he was ground down. And so L'Ami's unbeaten streak come to an end. Still a fantastic first half for Erwin! and in reward he made it into the top 100 in the world for the first time.

                  • A lot of underperformers in this tournament so far. Noteworthy are: MVL, Gukesh, Pragga.

                        This is good, I'm exhausted. Also, my wife thinks that perhaps I shouldn't be spending 6 hours a day looking at my laptop.

                        • Im glad you are smitten by the chess atmosphere at Isle of Man John. Maybe you could tell your wife that tournament happens only once a year.

                            • Rd 7 Shawn RL is involved in a tense endgame with Niemann.

                              Couldnt Shawn have played 39...Rxg2+ 40.Kh1 Rb2?
