Considering the strength of this tournament it doesn't really matter that GM Luke McShane didn't win it. His performance over the tournament considering his rating was extremely impressive. 

London Chess Classic round 7

In the last round GM Magnus Carlsen won against GM Nigel Short in the French Defence winning the tournament. GM Viswanathan Anand drew his game against GM Vladimir Kramnik in the Ruy Lopez Berlin Defence. GM Luke McShane drew his final game against GM David Howell in the Sicilian Defence Dragon variation. The game seemed to be losing for black however GM David Howell was in serious time trouble again and accepted the draw by three fold repetition. After a long game GM Hikaru Nakamura and GM Michael Adams drew their game. In order to win the tournament GM Luke McShane or GM Viswanathan Anand would have needed to win their game and GM Nigel Short would have needed to draw against GM Magnus Carlsen. Since this did not happen even if Anand or McShane had won their game, Carlsen would have won the tournament because he has played black more often. It was a great tournament congratulations to GM Magnus Carlsen on winning the tournament.

Vishy Anand	½-½	Vladimir Kramnik

London Chess Classic round 6

GM Michael Adams and GM Viswanathan Anands game began with the Sicilian Najdorf, Opovcensky Variation and ended in a draw. GM Nigel Short and GM David Howells game began with the Kings Gambit Accepted and was one of the more exciting games but also ended in a draw. GM Luke McShane began his game against GM Nakamura with the move 1. g3 a move he has used before in this competition going into the English opening the game also ended in a draw. GM Vladimir Kramnik and GM Magnus Carlsens game began in the Queens Gambit Declined, Chigorin Defence and Kramnik looked to have the win in hand  but Carlsen managed to draw the end game. The positions of the players  haven't changed in the table. So its still too close to call. I wouldn't be able to predict who's going to win it. I would like to wish all the players good luck in the next round.

	Vladimir Kramnik	½-½	Magnus Carlsen
