Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen and Michal Krasenkov have singled out on the top after the 7th round. Magnus sacrificed exchange against the veteran Lajos Portisch and took advantage of opponent's misplaced pieces. Krasenkov beat Kjetil Lie after huge complications, but it seems like Norvegian GM mixed move order, 32...Rf2 (33...c2 looks much better).
IM Irina Krush lost almost without fight against GM Kaido Kulaots and ended all hopes for the GM norm. Untitled doctor Eric Moskow had slightly better position against GM Eduardas Rozentalis, but Moscow is certainly happy to go away with the draw.

| 1. | GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR 2693) | 5.5 |
| 2. | GM Michal Krasenkov (POL 2661) | 5.0 |
