        Rd 8 After all that entertainment Caruana and So both draw and share the lead at 5.5. Aronian somehow ends up a half point back.

          In addition to all the other great entertainment there were two extra long endgames that kept going, the best of which was Yu - Paikidze which went 111 moves. This fan was almost overwhelmed with the great entertainment.

            As a result of that 111 move spectacle Nazi Paikidze has earned a part of a five way tie for second at five points.

              Alice Lee leads the field by one point after eight rounds with six points. Love it.

                      Rd 9 Irina Krush played an interesting pawn sac on the black side of a Sicilian against Pourkashian. White is under intense pressure but there is no obvious breakthrough for Black. I wonder if this is all home prep?
                      Pourkashian ruined an interesting game by self destructing.

                        Carissa Yip has played a very creative opening against Atwell. Its npt ypur usual type of position and I'm really enjoying it.

                        Under pressure Atwell collapsed and it ended up being demolition time.

                          It looks like Alice Lee has fallen into a trap against Zatonskih. How bad is it? We'll see.
                          Yes the trap was bad and the position has gone from worse to horrible. Its interesting if you like to watch road accidents and carnage. Resigning is overdue.

                            Shankland vs Caruana is a fighting Sicilian - no surprise - a Taimanov no less.

                            Shankland's position fell apart due to shortage of time. His play was almost unrecognizable after move 30 from the first 30 moves where he seemed to be doing well.

                              So vs Sevian is a classical Nimzo Indian and So prepared a novelty on move 16. Two things are certain - the main play will be on the queenside and it will be a long game.

                                Niemann vs Liang Liang blundered on move 39 but his position was already bad.
