FIDE Grand Prix Sochi resumes

Hostilities at the FIDE Grand Prix Sochi resumes today, 7 pm, Manila time. You can see all the LIVE games HERE. Three players shares the top spots after 5 rounds: Radjabov, Cheparinov and Grischuk. One important question that will be answer today after a day of rest is has Peter Svidler already recover from his back injury he suffer after playing a friendly football game? Interesting match up is between the two co-leaders of the tourney: Cheparinov and Grischuk. My prediction? A draw. Also the match up between Gelfand and Radjabov should be entertaining.

Round 6 pairings:

Cheparinov-Grischuk
Gelfand-Radjabov
Kamsky-Karjakin
Jakovenko-Ivanchuk
Svidler-Wang Yue
Al-Modiahki - Aronian
Gashimov-Navara
