 After six days of fantasy chess, Janani Ramachandran leads the overall
standings, David Kaufman won the daily prize and women's leader Anna
Zatonskih became one of three most valuable picks.

On the whole though not much changed in the list of players with mostly the same names occupying the top spots, and it’s still anyone’s game. By taking the sole lead in their respective tournaments, both Shulman and Zatonskih have shot up in being keys to victory. Despite finally being nicked for a draw, Krush still holds the number one spot.
