After today's Game 1 in round 5, GM's Mamedyarov and Svidler find themselves on the ropes for Game 2 tomorrow, I will post the pairings.
0.5-0.5 Jakovenko, Dmitry (RUS) * Gelfand, Boris (ISR)
0.5-0.5 Gashimov, Vugar (AZE) * Ponomariov, Ruslan (UKR)
1-0 Malakhov, Vladimir (RUS) * Svidler, Peter (RUS)
0-1 Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar (AZE) * Karjakin, Sergey (UKR)
You can follow the games live on many sites, including Chessdom.com's new live game transmission and live commentary for free. This site has been very cool in providing pictures and commentary as well as some links to articles on chess just for the mention of their site. I could see getting in trouble by some other major site doing commentary and not caring about the little guy and prohibiting photos or commentary. So a shout out to Chessdom.com!
And in case no one noticed, YES, TransWarp is back online and waiting for it's first game since it's absence, I only paid for six months, I just couldn't lay out $70.00 right now, and whether you hate her or like her, TransWarp has been a fixture on ICC the past few years. I'm thinking of having an unrated weekday...not sure yet. I just think anyone over 3000 ICC elo should risk at least 1 pt. But then, there would probably be rating inflation.
