2015 London Chess Classic - Round 7

Vachier-Lagrave took the lead by beating Anand. Since there are only 2 rounds left, he is the clear favorite for winning the tournament.

Methodology

London Chess Classic - Round 6

Grischuk defeated Anand and joined the leaders. I'm not sure if Anand could have drawn had he played 51...d3 instead of 51...Kd3. I'm failing to find a win for White, but I am not an expert.

Position after White's 51st move. Here Anand played 51...Kd3 and quickly lost.

MVL won against Topalov, joining Giri in first place. Topalov was leading the Grand Chess Tour before this tournament, but now his odds do not look so good.

The tournament began today. World Champion Magnus Carlsen is of course the favorite. However, his rating has slipped to 2834 and the competition is extremely strong.
