FIDE Grand Prix Sochi Round 8 LIVE tonight!

Round 8 of the FIDE Grand Prix in Sochi will start at around 7 pm. tonight, Manila time. You can see all the LIVE games HERE. Gata Kamsky will face Al-Modiahki and perhaps it is now Gata's turn to pull of a victory against the Qatari? One of the tournament leader Ivan Cheparinov, who lately joined the elite group of GM's with 2700+ Elo points will face the struggling David Navarra of Czech Republic. Against Wang Yue, we will see if Boris Gelfand have already recover emotionaly from the terrible blunder he made in the end game (47. d7?) against Radjabov in round 6. Boris handled the game brilliantly, got a winning position, and then blew it in a few moves. It is obvious that Gelfand stamina for long classical games is no longer that good, I guess.
