well yeah he has slim chances. But I am rooting for Leko.

Moro won. Thats some good news. Tacticians 4eva!!!

No, I am just amused about your predictability. And as Korch says, it doesn't look that bad for Magnus now.
After first Carlsen wins in this tournament Jusuh`s first comment was "This lucky little devil". So he is simply envious to young talent.

Time is 11:34 Leko to 14:00 Carlsen. Move 31. Fritzes evaluation went up slightly. Doesn't look good for Carlsen.

You`re not for Leko - you are against Carlsen. Personally I like Leko, but seeing how he`s wasting so many good chances, I` must say that in such bad form last place isnt surprising.

Svidler against Moro lost in one move in about even (or a little bit worse) position - 19.Qxc5?? was simply horrible. But anyway my respect to Moro - his performance in second part of tournament is really impressive.

I dont see any other possible reason of your prejudices against Carlsen.

According to Rybka, Carlsen should have exchange both rooks on e1 also second rook 29...Rf8 looks like not good idea. Now After 31th move Leko advantage is larger (0,80-0,90).

Not a position you want against Leko. No counterplay.

Leko is winning with quiet moves. Carlsen is making his position worse with each move.

Agree - after exchanging of both rooks counter play would be more real.

no, I am for Leko. I am not against Carlsen. If I post comments like "he has been little lucky, or his opponents have been playing badly etc" it does not mean I am against him. I am just telling the way I see it.

Back to the topic: My fritz gives +1.20 for white so I think Leko is winning.

Carlsen's position will be shattered before he makes the time control. About 6-5 minutes for Leko-Carlsen. Fritz 9 at +2.30

Your opinion about Carlsen is obviously prejudical. Also your comments expresses slighting attitude against Carlsen. Its the reasons why in my opinion "way you see it"(e.g. opinion) is based on your antipathy against Carlsen.

About game: After 36....Nb5?? (time trouble mistake) Leko found not too complicated 37.Re6 and now he is winning.

P.S. He should play 40.Rxf7! (instead of 40.a4) and Carlsen could resign, but time trouble sometimes makes strange things. But anyway Leko is winning.

Yeah, Leko missed an opportunity to put Carlsen out of his misery.
