Will you play on in case that one of contenders reaches 4.5 before Game 8?

FYI, if you were shooting for "Kramnik" backwards, you missed 

I did it on purpose. 

Well, for me it doesn't matter. Depends on what does Maarten prefer. 

Weren't we playing best of 12?

Yes, we decided to play 12, not 8 games.

So to answer the question, I'd prefer to fill up the 12 games even if someone gets to 6.5 sooner.

Agree with that! :)

This (3rd) game is just crazy. 

The end. Seemed like a lucky escape this time...

4th round:

Comments appreciated! :)

Wow, I slept through half the game

Longest one! :)

Ok, 4th round has just ended. Another drawn Sicilian game. Very very interesting!

Round 5

You're welcomed to comment that game! :)

MSC vs. Maarten

2.5 - 1.5

If you guys want to have a candidates tournament, I can organize it :)

If you want, you can. 

The winner will play against me or Maarten 

But must be the smallest possible one, otherwise it will last forever.  

So, how many players should it be?
