Gelfand, Boris ½-½ Andreikin, Dmitry
Andreikin successfully defended against any attempts by Gelfand to create pressure. A timely exchange on c3 liquidated the game to a drawn rook endgame.
The top and the bottom: Gelfand is last with 3.0/10, Andreikin leads with 6.5/10
Giri, Anish ½-½ Jobava, Baadur
Jobavas committed severely to an attack on the kingside, and when it ran out of steam it was Giri's turn to strike. The Dutch player could not finish the game off despite having good chances to a very sizeable advantage and in the end Jobava somehow escaped.

Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar ½-½ Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime
An entertaining queen-less game. After many melees MVL ended up down a pawn but with two bishops to strongly compensate for it. He lost his way and his initiative evaporated, allowing Mamedyarov to win another pawn. Yet, somehow, his position was still not completely hopeless and the Azerbaijani could not find a way to win up two pawns.
One, two, three... one, how am I down two pawns?! This probably went
through MVL's head at some point, but probably not when this picture was taken.
An incredulous Mamedyarov could not find a way to win up
two pawns, and there was no easy route
Nakamura, Hikaru ½-½ Jakovenko, Dmitry
Jakovenko's Lasker Defense holds steady. Despite missing an immediate perpetual the Russian's position was still too difficult to crack and the game was drawn in a queen and rook endgame where one side or another was going to be perpetual checked.
A solid draw keeps Nakamura 0.5 away from Andreikin
Caruana, Fabiano ½-½ Karjakin, Sergey
The Italian's attack on the kingside brought no dividends while Karjakin's attack on the queenside left him with a powerful position and a passed a-pawn. Karjakin missed a couple of chances to consolidate, then a brilliancy that would have forced Caruana to resign (which to be fair was almost impossible to find), and finally a transposition into a won endgame. After all that Caruana finally brought home the draw.
Karjakin missed more than a few chances today
Kasimdzhanov, Rustam ½-½ Radjabov, Teimour
Lots of maneuvering in a positoin that was locked up by very powerful knights on d4 and d5 that were supported by more knights. Eventually the game was drawn though there was still life left in the position.
Radjabov is one game away from a 100% draw record this tournament,
while Kasimdzhanov has three losses and no wins
