Aeroflot Update: Three Lead After 6 Rounds

In round 5, the leaders in Aeroflot, both (surprisingly) from Vietnam, drew their game. Only one of the players in the closest chase group caught them, and round 6 maintained the status quo. Therefore, Le Quang Liem, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son and Boris Grachev share first with 4.5 points, half a point ahead of 11 others, including Bacrot, Naiditsch, Cheparinov and So. (More details here and here.)

Meanwhile, for your entertainment, here are two games from the last two rounds. From round 5, we have McShane McShaning another opponent, while the round 6 game Bacrot-Bareev can be filed under "blink and you'll miss it".

The games are here.

Wow, you just have to admire his will. And stamina. If only more players were like that!
