Corus round 12 match ups

After losing to Anand with the White pieces in round 11, things will not be any easier for the young phenom Carlsen in round 12. He will have Black against Kramnik. In the mean time, the leader Aronian is facing Ivanchuk with White while Topalov and Anand both have Black against Eljanov and Van Wely respectively. It is still a wide open race and anything can happen.
