I made another draw from a sharp and dubious looking position.

At the end of Rd7 there was a 5-way tie for first with the following all at 4.5/7

• Zilhani,G
• Bodrogi.L
• Czibulka,Z
• Molnar,L
• Yip,M 

Bodrogi resumed his winning ways and beat Zilhani and sits in first with 5.5/8. The others were still playng when I left.

Czibulka and Bodrogi,L are showing great strength in the late going while I am limping along to the finish.

Here is my Rd8 game.

• The position is complex and unclear
• Black is better
• The position is even. White has nothing and black holds on with precision defence
• White has compensation for the pawn but nothing concrete
• White can force a stable advantage
• White has a combination
• Something else
