NANJING-Round 6 Results w/Games

   Greetings everyone! Round 6 of Nanjing today where a very important game is going on right now for first in the tournament between Bacrot(W) and Magnus(B), who have 3.5 pts and 4 pts respectively. But that is not the game I am posting.

   Gashimov(W) vs. Topalov(B) just finished up at 43 moves in the second stage of time control. Both players are looking to get a foothold in this tourney but as long as the bottom three(Wang, Gashimov and Topalov) keep drawing and the top 3 keep winning, there is no chance for these three players to break the top 3. Here is the game:(Remember, all games come through Fritz 12 via playchess.com)
