More draws among the leaders today........ so in addition to the 6 leaders from earlier today we have 6 new players joining the lead, all with 7 points - for a total of 12 leaders.
Some of the better known names include Vitiugov, Vallejo Pons, Wojtaszek, Jobava, and everybody's favourite Judit Polgar, who hasn't played as much recently, probably due to parenthood.
Judit's win today was again a very interesting affair, as have been several other spine tinglers she's played.
There are another 16 players one half point back. Tomorrow is the pentultimate round. Players are starting to see what score is going to be needed to go on to the next stage (the World Cup). I'm guessing 8 and maybe a couple might sneak in with 7.5
