Subject: Oh the suspense !

Naiditsch with 5 points enters the last round 1/2 point ahead of his closest
rivals.

He plays black against Peter Svidler who has 4 1/2 points

Svidler has his destiny in his hands. Can he make the most of this opportunity ?

Kramnik and Van Wely both at 4 1/2 have black against their respective opponents

A Svidler - Naiditsch draw allows for Kramnik or Van Wely to tie for first with
Naiditsch should either win

A Naiditsch loss allows either to tie with Svidler should they win

A Naiditsch win clinches first no matter what anyone else does

Svidler-Naiditsch is the game to watch sunday morning.

Personally I think there is a pretty fair chance this may end in a tie

Svidler has won but one game but he has lost none so the odds are against a
Naiditsch win.

What do you think ?
