Round one - Ian Nepomniachtchi vs Peter Svidler
Ian Nepomniachtchi uncorked powerful preparation and could’ve won under 20 moves. However, he let things slip, and after Svidler’s 18…g5! the game got complicated.
Round two - Viswanathan Anand vs Yannick Pelletier
Yannick Pelletier got a decent, complicated position out of opening against Viswanathan Anand, but got a little passive and then Vishy was on to him like a Tiger catching a deer. You can see Anand showing his claws to the Swiss before the game even began. Yannick should have taken a hint...
Round three - Ian Nepomniachtchi vs Viswanathan Anand
A very lively game that kept a strong double-edged nature well into the endgame. Not for the faint of heart.
Round four - Ian Nepomniachtchi vs Boris Gelfand
Ian Nepomniachtchi faces a very aggressive and active Boris Gelfand, and Daniel King starts the game after the swords have already been drawn and a few test swipes made upon which a wonderful strategic battle ensues.
Round five - Hikaru Nakamura vs Ian Nepomniachtchi
It was vintage Nakamura, who exploited a single innacuracy by Ian Nepomniachtchi to send the Russian packing. A lesson on how to exploit an advantage with minimal effort.

Naturally, a universal approach using ...Nf6, ...g7-g6 and ...d7-d5 as the base would be very useful for players of all classes, saving time and energy and promising a fluid, dynamic position.
