Round 6 Pairings and Results- Aeroflot 2009

Aeroflot 2009, starting a bit earlier in the day, has finished round 6, I didn't get a chance to put up the pairings before the round started and results started coming in today, but I will put up tomorrow's round 7 pairings. I also will put up the standings today after Round 6. Recently I learned that GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov accused GM Igor Kurnosov of cheating during their game today. After the arbitors said his accusations had no proof and were basically unfounded, GM Mamedyarov quit the tournament in protest, somewhat unfortunate, was the mention of frequent visits to the toilet...oh dear. I thought we might be over toilet jokes on ICC finally...
Here is the letter to the organizers & arbitors of the tournament (Source: Chessvibes.com)

" To: The organizer of the AEROFLOT-OPEN tournament
Alexander Grigorievich Bakh

From: GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov

Explanation of my protest

Dear Alexander Grigorievich,

On 22.09.2009 the game between myself and Igor Kurnosov was played.

During the game my opponent went out of the playing hall after each move, took his coat and withdrew himself on the toilet. After suspicion of unfair play on move 14 I offered a draw, he refused. We quickly played 11 moves, on the 12th move I played a move which confused my opponent. The next moves from him were given as first choice by Rybka, which quickly allowed him to win the game.

Due to this series of suspicions, having to do with the unusual behaviour of my opponent, Igor Kurnosov, I hereby lodge a protest and refuse to continue participation in the tournament.

I hope that this kind of situation will not occur in the future.

Sincerely,

GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov "
