Karjakin at Corus ( Source ICC newsletter)
In the absence of the "big three" of Anand, Topalov and Kramnik, the young guns are making their move at the Corus 'A' Group, with Ukrainian teenage ace Sergey Karjakin retaining the sole lead on 4/6.
Karjakin, who still holds the record for being the youngest-ever grandmaster, did dodge a bullet though in round six as he somehow held on for a draw against young Norwegian Magnus Carlsen - a crucial save that keeps him a half a point clear of a determined chasing pack that includes Radjabov, Smeets, Dominguez, Aronian and Movsesian.
Anything can happen now at Corus with the chase being so tight at the top. And ICC Chess.FM has unrivaled coverage throughout, with Mig Greengard being joined each day by the usual GM team of Joel Benjamin, Larry Christiansen, Nick De Firmian, John Federowicz, Ronen Har-Zvi and Gregory Kaidanov.
