London Classic only 2 rounds to go

It seems only a matter of time before USA gets a new world champion.

With 2 rounds to go, Wesley So is leading the field in London. With Fabiano Caruana closing in fast on Magnus Carlsen's number 1 spot and half a point behind Wesley So. Nakamura after a bad start is also on winning form after beating MVL in the previous round. All to play for going into the last two rounds with Vladimir Kramnik also in the mix.

Outside chances still remain for Aronian, Anand and Giri. 

MVL's loss to Nakamura has put him out of contention with  Michael Adams.

Michael Adams has played solid after a poor start losing to Wesley So and Anand. After his win against Topalov and draws with Fabio Caruana has certainly justified his wild card entry.

Topalov aswell as MVL are having a poor tournament.

Topalov's performance is a shame as he has produced some really interesting games, with non standard attacking moves creating novel positions which seems to have backfired against the solidity of the field.

MVL similarly seems lacking solidity and perhaps lacking in preparation for the tournament.

All to play for going into the last 2 rounds.

With the big match up being of course Fabiano Caruana against Wesley So.
