В Монако закончился восьмой круг Амбер-турнира. В главном противоборстве Магнус Карлсен смог два раза выиграть Владимира Крамника. Норвежец не сумел обогнать Ароняна в зачете, вероятно, из-за того, что Гельфанд в «незрячий» партии зевнул армянину ферзя. Продолжил восхождение и Валерий Иванчук — на этот раз он вписал себе в актив 1.5 очка в партиях с Грищуком.
