Remember, next round this afternoon for Zach. I'm not sure exactly how the pairings work, but is there a chance he might play Anna Cramling??

I agree. Usually, I can find small exclusionary details to deduce that they can't get paired, but here, I would say both of them have the same stats to get paired. They both have the same number of whites, same points, same TB, so I think there is a pretty decent chance for them to be paired.

Would be a great match up if it happened, and I'd love to hear Pia commentating on Zach's game!
As expected, Hikaru has beaten Vincent Keymer, and Magnus has beaten Caruana, both by a score of 1.5 - 0.5. Hikaru and Magnus will face each other in the final round, and Caruana and Keymer will face each other in the losers' bracket to eventually face either Magnus or Hikaru in the Grand Final.
In other news Zach draws against a 2230 rated player in round 5 and in round 6 Zach got a very nice win with black to push himself to 3.5/6 points.
