Karjakin, Sergey - Wang Yue ½-½
Karjakin came close to breaking Wang Yue's defenses in this game. The Chinese set up a solid Petroff and readied himself for a tough defense against the Russian star. Karjakin tried to probe every weakness in his opponent's position but Wang Yue kept his resilience and at the end Karjakin ran out of pieces to attack with, and the game ended in a draw.
Leko, Peter - Wang Hao ½-½
Leko tried to obtain an opening advantage by using the exchange Slav, but he was unable to do so and the game quickly.
Kamsky, Gata - Ivanchuk, Vassily 1-0
Kamsky did not obtain a comfortable position out of the opening, but managed to outplay his opponent and even trick him in time trouble to obtain a decisive advantage. Ivanchuk resigned as he had the uncomfortable choice of trapping his king in with Rg6 after which the doubling of the rooks on the 8th file would have been decisive, or losing the defense on g7 which would have allowed White to double on the 7th rank instead and won the game.
Giri punished Topalov's mistake swiftly.
Giri, Anish - Topalov, Veselin 1-0
Topalov made the strange decision to trap his own bishop by placing it on f5. He did have the choice of exchanging it for White's own light squared bishop, so it is quite unclear why this mistake happened. After this he had no compensation whatsoever for the piece and he resigned a few moves later.

Topalov has shown brilliancies and elemental blunders this tournament.
Morozevich, Alexander - Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar 1-0
Morozevich's positional pressure proved to be too much for the tournament leader. Slowly but surely White was able to create a minority attack on the queenside once the queens were traded off. Without any counterplay on the kingside Black seemed helpless and planless and Morozevich posted a clean technical win.
Gelfand, Boris - Grischuk, Alexander 1-0
Gelfand successfully showed how to play against the King's Indian Defense. In a perfect technical showing he neutralized Black's initiative, obtained a superior pawn structure, simplified the position into a superior endgame, probed Black's weaknesses and won the game. Text book King's Indian slaying.
