Group c - Round 6
Tania Sachdev - Daniele Vocaturo 1-0

Today 4 players won with playing with Black ... Anand was in trouble against Grischuk but saved and managed draw as Grischuk couldn't take advantage ... Carlsen, Kramnik and Nakamura won ... So Nakamura again joins Anand at the top ... Giri lost against Nepomniachtchi.

Carlsen is getting his form back so tomorrow's match against him important for Anand ... Today I was also hoping for win against Grischuk considering his poor form but that not happened and other take advantage of situation to getting closer ... Impressed with Nakamura's consistent performance in this tournament.

Impressive win by Tania over sole leader Vocaturo and this time with White ... Now she is on 3½ pts, only 1 pt behind leader ... Hopefully she will keep this momentum in next rounds.
