CROSSTABLE ROUND 6
4 out of 5 games were decisive today - all of them exceedingly interesting battles. Landa vs Vocaturo was one amazing battle - the pawns winning the game for Landa who had a Queen versus two Bishops and a Knight. Very interesting game!
Kamsky and Almasi have set a blistering pace - 3 wins and 3 draws for both of them. With their game against each other still looming on the horizon this event is still heating up! Caruana is playing very attacking chess and so is Bologan - especially Bologan! He is burning bridges either winning games or losing games, with not one draw in this event yet. He is a danger to anyone in this event and he still has a game against Kamsky to play as well - having lost to both Caruana and Almasi.
Quite an event!
The Italian contingent - Vocaturo, Brunello, Godena and Caruana are getting very good experience by playing in this event. I do have to point out that Caruana is now representing Italy having grown up here in the United States.
Stay tuned for more fighting chess from this extremely interesting Italian tournament.
