   It's that time again people. Round 9 of Nanjing, amazingly, is already over and it looks like tomorrow's final round games are just a formality now, not really meaning anything at all, just the duel for 2nd and 3rd in the event. Today's featured game is Topalov(W) vs. Mags(B).

 

                                                    ----------

   Game 2 is Gashimov(W) vs. Anand(B), which ended after 42.Qe8+. The Fritz 12 Hotness meter at this move was at a solid 5.

 

                                                      ----------

   Finally, we have Bacrot(W) vs. Wang(B), the shortest game of the day at 27 moves. This draw pretty much sealed the deal for the tournament, making tomorrow's games meaning all but nothing.
