Notes
  • Chessbase has been posting a series of articles on the Wijk aan Zee tournament.
  • Leko and Adams are the only two players still undefeated. That can still change, as both of them still have to face tough opponents. Leko has to play Topalov and Polgar, and Adams has to play Anand and Grischuk.
  • As the dust clears, Leko now seems to be the favorite to win it all.
