Standings after 10 rounds:
I can't make the official site URL work, so these re****ts are from SP and 
also a Russian chess site where you can reply or download games:

Big action at the moment is that Cheparinov seems to have scored 4 points 
from 5 games.

Big Surprises are low placements of Kamsky and Svidler, high placement of 
Wang Yue.

Everyone getting exhausted now, and therefore the high draw rate in round 
10, viz:
