MTel Round 8 Results

GM Bu Xiangzhi holds GM Vassily Ivanchuk to a draw, again GM Ivanchuk may be taking it easy with the lead he has, but GM Veselin Topalov pulled off a win against fellow countryman GM Ivan Cheparinov, however there has been controversy raised by chess fans that Cheparinov may not be playing his best vs Topalov..I don't know though and wouldn't hazard a guess.

First: GM Bu Xiangzhi 1/2-1/2 GM V. Ivanchuk



GM Topalov 1-0 GM Cheparinov This brings Topalov within 1/2 pt of GM Ivanchuk for the lead, with 2 games to go.



In the final game of the day, GM Teimour Radjabov wins with the black pieces vs GM Levon Aronian to put GM Radjabov in 3rd place behind Ivanchuk and Topalov ahead of GM Cheparinov by a full point.



All games are available for download at http://www.transwarpchess.com/news.html As well as the US Chess Championship 2008 (Frank K Berry) and a rest day for the CEZ Chess Trophy Match with Kramnik firmly ahead 3.5-0.5 after 4 games of 8.
