Standings after 6 rounds
Nakamura is in the lead but he has only 2 games remaining. Carlsen, Kramnik, and McShane are 2 points behind (even though all four are at +2) but they all have 3 games to play. Therefore, anything can still happen in the final 3 days.
Nakamura does have an edge because he will have white against both Short and Adams in the final 2 games. McShane still has to face Kramnik and Anand. Tough luck!
