Here is the finished Topalov/Gashimov game:
So, Mags was the only one to have won a game today, even though he won due to his opponent losing on time, but it is still a win. Anand and Topalov draw their games, and I am looking forward to the game where these two meet for the first time since the World Championship Match from Sofia earlier this year.
So, stay turned for round 2 tomorrow. The only rest day for this tourney is October 25th, so it will be a important event. The winner of this tourney gets the nod for the 2011 Grand Slam Finals. Enjoy the games.

I'm going to do it like this every day my friend, so when they are done tomorrow, I'm going to post them here just like today, and will be doing so for the whole event. So just stop by this thread tomorrow and everything will be ready. They'll finish up probably between 7 and 8 AM Eastern Time, just look for it in the forums.
