Standings after Twelfth Round

Russia's ambassador to Mexico, Vaˆ�ery I. Morozov starts the clock on Kramnik - Leko. Vladimir Kramnik won this game to pull within one and a half points of the leader with two rounds to go.

Svidler - Anand with Aronian - Gelfand in the background.

Boris Gelfand is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. In this game Gelfand playing the black pieces dispenses, for the second time in this tournament, the Armenain super GM Levon Aronian.

Where did I go wrong?

Still without a victory in this tournament: Peter Svidler.
