Grand Slam Round 7 Update
First you're up and then you're down. Proving that the Grand Slam Final is a closer contest than the unusual scoring system suggests, Lev Aronian (pictured) and Vassily Ivanchuk beat Veselin Topalov and Magnus Carlsen respectively in round 7 to narrow the gap at the top.
Magnus Carlsen still holds a narrow lead, but with just three rounds to go, a lot of moves are still left to be played. Who will claim the 150.000 € first prize?
