Going into the last round
  • Leko is playing Polgar (who is at 6½). A win will give him clear first no matter what else happens; a draw will give him at least a share of first or all of it if Anand doesn't win.
  • Anand is playing Sokolov (who is at 3 and will finish this tournament dead last even if he wins tomorrow). Anand must play for a win in this game to have a realistic chance of winning the tournament. A draw is good enough only if Leko loses and Topalov doesn't win either.
  • Topalov is playing Svidler (who is at 5½). The only way he can win is if he wins, Leko loses and Anand does no better than a draw.
