Linex Magic won the round 6 match against Tomsk-400 and are sole leaders with 11 MP from 12 possible. As usual it was GM Rublevsky and GM Cheparinov to pull the team to victory. They won against the ex world champion GM Kasimdzhanov and GM Bologan and turned a difficult day into a triumph. They were helped by GM Kamsky not losing on board one against the always unpredictable GM Morozevich, by a sraw of GM Sargissian against GM Inarkiev, and by the GM scalp taker IM Manuel Perez Candelario, who drew GM Smirnov. With the team being on +2 GM Adams lost against GM Karjakin, without affecting the final outcome. With the total score 2½:3½ Linex Magic got a magical win again and full match points.
Linex Magic has 5 wins and one draw until now. This draw was exactly against Ashdod City Club, the chess team that stopped today the number 1 seeded OSC Baden-Baden e.V. In an exciting match GM Svidler and GM Bacrot were able to pull their team at +2 with victories against GM Smirin and GM Smirin. However, GM Eljanov was able to hold the tired from Mexico Anand for a draw, and give wings to the team. The inspired today GM Sutovsky finished with the resistance of GM Magnus Carlsen and GM Moiseenko won against GM Nisipeanu to equalize the match and sink OSC Baden-Baden e.V. into trouble.
Anand and Svidler are worried about OSC Baden-Baden e.V.
The surprising leader until last round, Alkaloid, did not have luck today either. With 5 draws, it was GM Galkin who stole the victory for Economist SGSEU-1 Saratov.
Exactly on the opposite pole were Bosna Sarajevo (led by a fantastic GM Ivanchuk) against Keystone. Even though Ivanchuk could not win his game against GM Ponomariov, the team won with decisive games by GM Movsesian and GM Sokolov.
