Round Ten At Tata
Submitted by SonofPearl on Chess.com
Anand crushed poor Shirov in just 26 moves, while Nakamura beat Vachier-Lagrave to leave them both on a score of 7/10.
Kramnik and Aronian dropped half a point back after drawing with black against Smeets and Giri respectively.
There was plenty more blood spilt, with Ponomariov beating Grischuk, and Wang Hao beating L'Ami in encounters from the bottom half of the standings.
Finally, Magnus Carlsen came unstuck against Nepomniachtchi. After declining a repetition draw, the Norwegian's position worsened significantly and he lost the game to drop to 5th place and possibly out of contention for the inaugural Tata Steel title.
"What have I done NOW?!" Shirov's run of poor form continues against Anand
