Bilbao 04: Aronian catches Adams

10/11/2013 – In what was a fantastically strange game the following happened: In time pressure the Frenchman went for the throat with a kingside attack while Aronian pushed his passed b-pawn, but a wrong move allowed MVL to sacrifice a rook and get a winning attack! However he erred, Aronian survived and he won the ensuing rook vs. four pawns endgame. GM Analysis.

Bilbao 03: Adams leads at halfway

10/10/2013 – Adams held Aronian to a draw today and retains his lead in the 6th Bilbao Masters. He has 5 points according to the Bilbao Scoring rules. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave rebounded from his second round loss by beating Mamedyarov. Aronian continues on his drawing streak and has three points, one less than MVL because of the 3-1-0 scoring, in which winning one and losing is more valuable than drawing two. Report at halfway.
