Oh yeah - here's what some of the dudes did:
My man, Morozevich, offered Grischuk a draw in Game 2, accepted with some shock on Grischuk's part, and he's out of the World Cup. Oh Moro! Hey, I totally understand. You play chess like I wish I could, sigh.
The last U.S. player standing, Gata Kamsky, is going to tie-breaks, along with a hell of a lot of other top players. Holy Hathor!
So, 20 players are going into tie-breaks tomorrow. Eek! Quick, somebody, what the hell is Kamsky's record in rapid chess and faster play-offs? What is Nepomniachtchi's record?
Of the 16 pairs going into today's game, only 6 had clear results to advance to Round 4, including the last woman standing, GM Judit Polgar. GO JUDIT!
