The 9th round of the
candidates tournament
in Berlin was played
on Tuesday afternoon.
GM Sergej Karjakin
had a fine preparation
with h4. His opponent
GM Vladimir Kramnik
early went bananas with
f5 and later sacrificed
a rook. Karjakin kept
calm and capitalized
on his opponents
problems in the semi
tarrasch. Kramnik
did not come to the
pressconference.
The games Aronian-
Mamedyarov, Caruana-
Ding and So-Grischuk all
ended up as draws.
After the 9th round
Caruana leads with
6 Points, ahead of
Mamedyarov with 5,5
points.Grischuk in
third has 5 points.
Most probably one
of these three players
will challenge Magnus
in London in November.
Today is free day. The
10th round will be played
on Thursday at 15.00.
