Four players left:
Gelfand defeated Jakovenko (1-1, 2.5-0.5 RP)
Ponomariov defeatd Gashimov (1-1, 2.5-0.5 RP)
Malahkov defeated Svidler (1.5-0.5)
Karjakin defeated Mamedyarov (1.5-0.5)
Not bad, I was three for four.
Semi-finals:
Gelfand vs Karjakin
Ponomariov vs Malahkov
I'd like to see Boris Gelfand (2008 World Championship Candidate) and Rusian Ponomariov (2002 FIDE World Championship Championship) in the final, but I'm actually thinking Karjakin might end up winning his semi-final with Gelfand. Gelfand is still in the tournament, but was forced to win his 3rd, 4th, and 5th round games in the tie-breaks rather in normal time. Karjakin has age and a free day on his side.
