I guess we can simply exclude the predictions for Morozevich. Too bad he had to withdraw, hopefully it's not too serious.

I still can't get used to this 3-1-0 scoring system in chess. If Carlsen draws in the final round tomorrow, Wang Hao could surpass him with a win against Giri (who can also still win the tournament) and take clear first in spite of only scoring +3 compared to Carlsen's +4 in the traditional standings. Is it really necessary to punish a player like Carlsen for not being "combative" enough?

Contest standings after round 9:

5  ChessOutpost	14,7	50,1
6  inky		16,5	59,6

I don't like the 3-1-0 scoring system either. On the ChessBase site they always show both standings and most of the time when I checked them they were looking the same but now towards the end of the tournament everything seems to get f?@$ed up.
