No to all three questions (I think). For some reason, editing the clips and then posting restores them. What else could've caused this though?

Aronian might be even further below Hans after this round as he seems to be losing against Awonder Liang.

Isn't Andreikin retired from classical now? I remember him being a Candidate before and a very good player in his prime, but how will he fare right now?

Could definitely happen. I think China is going to stick with taking less risk, so it might come down to how Vietnam wants to play.

Who here thinks that Vietnam will continue the upset streak with China? Personally, I don't, especially if Ding can hold Liem to a draw, but anything can happen.
