Half of the Championship already behind us

With the end of the 6th round, a good half of the tournament is behind us. All three matches on the top chessboards were very competitive, although only one decision was made. At the top of the table was the German representative Bluebaum, who overtook Can with black pieces in the endgame. The latter wasted the advantage first, and later the possibility of a draw. Ukrainian chess player Kuzubov achieved a better position with white pieces, but failed to break the solid Armenian Sargissian. Šarić and Jobava also finished without a winner. Behind the leading Bluebaum with 5.5 points are four players: Kuzubov, Jobava, Ter-Sahakyan and Gadimbayli with 5 points.
