Huge results! Vladimir Kramnik showed some amazing class as he beat his archnemesis Veselin Topalov. After the usual lack of handshake between them Russia vs. Bulgaria seemed to be going well for the Russians for some time. Big Vlad's game was very impressive:
Vladimir Kramnik played a great game against Topalov
Topalov was bailed out by his time this time
However things were not so simple. Valentin Iotov was here to have a say in the result of the match:
In board one Mamedyarov completely annihilated Ivanisevic. He was so winning that he blundered a piece and still had an easy victory over the board. Radjabov however fell to Perunovic and with draws in boards three and four Serbia was able to hold Azerbaijan to a draw.
Ivanisevic was lost after about an hour of play
Nakamura could only draw Kovalyov and USA is currently down 2-1 against Canada awaiting on the game where Shankland is pushing against Hambleton
Carlsen was able to hold Aronian after suffering down a pawn, but with Sargissian's win over Agdestein it was the Armenians that took the match 2.5-1.5.
Kasimdzhanov was given a nice gift from Ivanchuk: a full piece and a full point with it. This opened the door for Uzbekistan to take a very surprising victory against Ukraine! In another maybe slighter surprise Cuba is having a great tournament and they beat Israel as every game was won by White in that match, except for Gelfand-Dominguez which was a draw.
Germany was held to another surprise today as they were unable to beat Qatar.
Le Quangliem lost to Adams, but with Nguyen's win against Jones the match evened out
Vallejo's Spain lost to Hungary, despite his draw against Leko
Ding Liren vs. L'Ami was one of the four draws in the match China vs. Netherlands

Iran was finally stopped on its trackas as Hungary took them out. A very important victory by Hoang Than Trang against Pourkashiyan gave the Hungarians the win.
