Kramnik held the draw against Ivanchuk and emerged in clear 1st place with 6.0/9. Anand actually lost with white against Aronian giving them both 5.0/9, but Carlsen managed to win with black against Leko, pushing him up to tie with Ivanchuk for 2nd-3rd place!
Chess Live Ratings now have Carlsen at 2805.7 (will round to 2806) and Topalov at 2805.1 (will round to 2805), meaning that if no more games are played, Carlsen will be the new #1 player in the January 2010 list at only 19 years of age.
Neither player is playing in the World Cup later this month, and I don't believe either of them have anything scheduled until Corus in January 2010, so I think Carlsen will be the new #1 in January!
