Grischuk Still Leads In Linares

This year's Linares tournament has been blessed with some very impressive and hard fought chess games, but with the players so evenly matched, the percentage of draws is stubbornly high.

Only one of the four clashes in round 8 ended with a decisive result, and it was Lev Aronian who made amends for his loss in the previous round, to beat Carlsen in a long endgame. 

So Alexander Grischuk still leads by a full point going into the next round.
