The first game to end was Sergey Karjakin vs Alexander Grischuk, which ended in a 31-move draw. It left Karjakin in the lead by half a point, ahead of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, who outplayed Wang Hao in this round. Alexander Morozevich and Wang Yue won their first games in the tournament. The games Giri-Leko and Topalov-Ivanchuk were drawn.
Sergey Karjakin– Alexander Grischuk ½-½
Karjakin played a safe line and everything depended on whether
his opponent would remember the exact moves. During the press conference
Alexander Grischuk (above) recalled his previous games in the same variation
against Peter Leko and Rustam Kasimdzanov: “It's a very interesting
line, White has a lot of options. I’ve played it three times already,
and every time White went for drawish continuation with me. When it's the
third game in the same line in one year even I can remember the variations."
The game finished in a draw.
Remembering the moves: Alexander Grischuk
Shakhriyar Mamedyarov – Wang Hao 1-0
Wang Hao tried to surprise Mamedyarov today and went for quite
a sharp and principal line. After twelve moves Shakhriyar was out of his
analysis and had to find moves at the board. According to Wang Hao, 19.Rc1
was a very strong move and it was clear for him something was missed during
his preparation. White managed to get an advantage but had to play very
precisely as Black had contra play on the queen’s side. The Chinese
player came close to make a draw but blundered on 35th move.

Alexander Morozevich – Boris Gelfand 1-0
The players repeated the same variation from the game Gelfand-Topalov until
the tenth move but this time Gelfand was playing with reversed colors. According
to Alexander Morozevich (above), he didn’t expect the variation with
7…Na6 and was not ready to test the main lines after 10.0-0. White
didn’t achieve anything special in the side-line 10. Bg5, and after
the opening the position was approximately equal. Gelfand could have defended
against the sacrifice on f7 by playing 20…Rd7, but 20…Nc6 seemed
also good enough for him. 21…Rf8 was just a blunder. Black could have
taken on f7 and all the fight would be ahead after 22.d7 Rf8 23. Ng5 Kg8.
Wang Yue - Gata Kamsky 1-0
Wang Yue (above) gained the first victory in the tournament after
a seven-hour battle against Gata Kamsky. In the middlegame the American
player decided to sacrifice a pawn, but could not prove he had enough counterlay.
Wang Yue played very creatively and gave an exchange in order to get a very
strong passed pawn on e6. Later on Gata Kamsky gave back an exchange and
had to defend a worse rook endgame. 47. Rc7 was the original idea of Chinese
player, but for some reason he played Kh5 and gave his opponent good chances
for a draw.
Veselin Topalov - Vassily Ivanchuk ½-½
Ivanchuk managed to surprise his opponent with his third move,
3...Qb6. Topalov was not happy with the position he got. "I had to
play actively, maybe even make long castling, because after 18 moves I've
got an unpleasant position." Nevertheless, the Bulgarian tried to play
for initiative and was keeping the balance. Both players missed an interesting
option for Black, 37…Kg7. After this move it is unclear if White has
enough recourses to hold a draw. After 37…h6 Veselin forced a draw
with perpetual check.
Anish Giri - Peter Leko ½-½
This game ended in a repetition after 25 moves. Neither side had moved away
from the draw margin.
