Aeroflot 2009 Round 8 Group A1 pairings and results

Tomorrow's or games later today, at Aeroflot 2009 Group A1 Moscow, Russia, again, I will try to update the games as soon as results come in from finished games. Round 5 of Linaes 2009 will also be played tomorrow as well, just a bit later. We also cannot forget Kamsky-Topalov with the gallows door starting to squeak under Gata Kamsky's boots. Hopefully, he will make yet another comeback and keep this match interesting! *sorry late on this..have been ill the past two days..still not feeling too well. Just one of those things.
