1/30/2016 – All will be decided in the last round. After draw with So, Carlsen ensured at least a half point advantage in the last round, but a win by Caruana against Van Wely kept his chances alive for an 11th hour surprise. As if that were not enough, Ding won himself and is right behind Caruana, and could even steal gold if he beats Carlsen in the last round. Report, photos and games.

Although there is no question he has earned his top spot in the crosstable
Baskaran must be at least part cat, considering the number of lives he has
expended. Today, after being dead lost to Nino Batsiashvili, he somehow
clawed his way back to a draw. Remarkable.
Nijat Abasov has scored a respectable 50%
