The london chess candidates tournament is really dramatic,first it was aronian leading,then carlsen,then kramnik and lastly a takeover of the lead by carlsen in the nick of time!Haven't seen a chess tournament this exciting and they are really taking their chances in some ways.After all, this is the tournament that decides who would face world champion vishy anand of India.Personal best wishes to Magnus Carlsen,and hope to see him grind out more wins in future.

Just a few minutes ago, Magnus Carlsen was defeated by the Ukranian Chess Grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk...I think Magnus lost hereby his change of winning this Candidate tournament in London. Two rounds to go...but boy...Vladimir Kramnik is not a beginner. He is former World Champion...a different breed...So...when you ask me...I'd say...it'll be Anand - Kramnik in November....
