Svidler and Nepomniachtchi are coleaders 6/9
Peter Svidler and...
...Ian Nepomniachtchi are the new coleaders 6/9
Anand - Aronian, Round 8
Position after 26...Nf4?
The knight at h5 was not doing much, moving it to f4 did not help Black's case either. 26...Nf4? 27.Qxa5 Rxa5 28.a3 Rb8? 29.c5 dxc5 30.Rxc5 Rb3 31.Rc3 Rxc3 helped White to have connected passed pawns on c and d-files 32.bxc3 and White smoothly converted his advantage into a win.
