Kramnik dropping out of top ten?

Sort:
fabelhaft

Kramnik bouncing back to 10th today with a very easy win against his Qatari opponent, winning advantage already early in the opening and now it's just a question of when the resignation comes.

Yay, I'm happy! ;)

Al-Modiakhi kept playing until the 25th move but could have resigned long before that.

Haha, unbelievable! When I played GM I blundered on 16th move but kept playing till 30+ because I didn't want to finish so soon. ;)

Can someone post a game here since I can't access to it on mobile (well I can, but with huuuge troubles).

Kramnik may be back to Top 10 with no effort. Nakamura is doing a great job in his favour. 4.5/13

It's also interesting, that Aronian fell down to #6!! Anand is now #3 while Caruana is catching Carlsen, only 20-pt difference now, 16/19.

If the top 6 keep winning (including Aronian), we will see 6 players above 2800. Talk about rating inflation, haha.

Kramnik lost to Shirov today and is now No. 10 in the live ratings. However, he is 13.9 points ahead of No. 11 Ding Liren, so he is unlikely to drop out of the top ten in the next few days.
