This was an interesting round because Topalov beat Kramnik as white with a combination that he uncorked early in the opening. Apparently, both players were almost playing blindfold because neither one dared to look across the board (they despise one another so much since the Toiletgate scandal). Adams played an excellent game against Van Wely, and Carlsen blundered in a drawn position. Now, Carlsen and Aronian are still leading.
