Did he get banned in the end? I always thought he was concealing his device in his jacket. Every picture of him i have seen, he is always wearing the same black leather jacket..

Apparently it was shoe/foot related.

I think Gelfand stopped by there or another tourney quite recently. Kramnik's whereabouts are unknown to me.

Naka beat Topalov in Rd. 6 for a perfect score, so far. He will play GM Yu in Rd. 7.

Crazy computer pairings! He should play Yu, who is the higher rated of the 2 5.5's. Probably a color equalization thing.

The "master class" chess interviews (posted on the Gibraltar website) are tremendous.

Going into the last round tomorrow, Naka is half a point up on Howell. Only way he can't take first is if he loses tomorrow, and Howell wins.
