Standings after Tenth Round

Anand approaches his board for round ten...

...is greeted and welcomed...

...shakes hands with his opponent...

and the game is on!

Svidler - Morozevich

Gelfand - Leko with Aronian in the background.

Like Boris Spassky vs. Fischer in 1972, Grischuk spent long stretches of time while on the move staring at the back wall.

Peter Svidler and Alexander Morozevich keep it light at the post-game press conference.
