Comments:

Lots of action yet again! These gambits are proving to be very entertaining,
although not 100% sound all the time. But that doesn't really matter
to me now, I enjoy watching great chess tactics unfold on my
screen.

I suggest you go download the pgn again.

Watch Komodo crush Fritz in just 35 moves, or watch Naum crush
Shredder in just 36 moves. It's all in there, plus many more great games!

The Violet Team is now in a clear lead, with two victories. This team is also
the only undefeated team so far.

With 7 rounds to go, anything can happen.

Remember that rounds 6-10 are equal to 1-5 only with reversed colors.
