Things went all kinds of wrong for Karjakin today
What a blow to Sergey Karjakin! Peter Svidler came in with his usual: a very solid Spanish defense (that is not a Berlin!). This time he chose the Breyer, a defense that has been reliable for black decades. It's so good the guy that got third/fourth place in this tournament made a brand new DVD on it!

Karjakin couldn't crack the Breyer
Svider definitely knows about solid Spanish set ups. And about cricket.
With this result Svidler only needs one draw from the next two games to crown himself World Cup 2015 Winner!
An empty stage considering how this tournament started with 128 people.
Svidler is only half a point away from being the last man standing.
