One round left and Topalov’s defeat today against Giri leaves the tournament wide open! The final round will see Topalov up against a red-hot Anand.

All Topalov needs is a draw to guarantee a victory in the tournament; a loss guarantees Anand a tournament victory! Giri and Nakamura will fight it out for 2nd place…should be exciting.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE FARM…

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Today Kasparov celebrated his 7,984th tweet. Congrats!!

Apparently Gary mentioned Putin atleast 15,000 times! Talk about beating a dead horse…

Must get boring doing the same thing over and over again…
