Topov beat Carlsen. I thought this was a great game. Great stuff from Topov.
Ivanchuk beat Radjabov. Ivanchuk just seemed to calculate more accurately.
Anand astonishingly lost to Aronian. Anand seemed to have a much better ending, but it all went horribly wrong.

He had better position (according to me)...

Topalov won Bilabo with 17 points! I have to admit that I've been following the games and I'm impressed with his play. (However, I still haven't forgiven him for his dirty tactics against Kramnik.) On the other hand, Anand has managed no wins and a score of only 7. I suppose this is due to his focus on the WC match and perhaps some of the tension along with it.
