Catch up on Nanjing Super GM 2008

I had a couple of bad days, so the posting was slow, sorry about this. Here's and update on the round results and standings of the Nanjing Pearl Spring Super GM Tournament.

They have finished Round 7 now, I think my last results were from round 5..so here are the round results I missed as well as a couple of games, a win by Topalov as well as a win by Aronian.

Round 6 Results:

GM Topalov Veselin 1-0 GM Aronian Levon
GM Svidler Peter 1/2-1/2 GM Ivanchuk Vassily

Round 7 Results:

GM Bu Xiangzhi 1/2-1/2 GM Topalov Veselin
GM Movsesian Sergei 0-1 GM Svidler Peter
GM Ivanchuk Vassily 0-1 GM Aronian Levon

Here's the nice win with the black pieces by GM Levon Aronian vs GM Vassily Ivanchuk who is winless so far, but has had some well needed draws to stay close, but with only 3 rounds to go, he would have to win all his remaining games to pass GM'x Bu ans Topalov at 4.5 pts and in the lead at the moment. Here are the standings followed by GM Aronian's win.

1-2: GM Bu Xiangzhi, GM Veselin Topalov 4.5
