Round 11: Monday, March 3rd

Teimour Radjabov  ½-½  Vishy Anand
Levon Aronian  ½-½  Vassily Ivanchuk
Veselin Topalov  1-0  Alexei Shirov
Peter Leko  1-0  Magnus Carlsen

Topalov won against Shirov which made many think if he could make another comeback a la Topalov since he usually starts the tournament with modest performances but bounces back in the latter stages. However, he could not succeed in his usual task, i.e. Topalovian comeback, in Corus Wijk aan Zee 2008. Leko, who is having difficult days in Morelia/Linares, and at the last place won against Magnus Carlsen whose task of fighting for the first place got quite a big blow.
