Erwin l'Ami won surprisingly quickly against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov.

The seventh round brought him no luck: Shakhriyar Mamedyarov

Pavel Eljanov won with black against...

...Alexander Fier

Still dangerous: Julio Granda Zuniga

Security is strict in Reykjavik - but Erwin l'Ami came out clean.

And so did Pavel Eljanov.

But the young American GM Daniel Naroditsky...

However, this did not seem to affect his concentration.
He defeated Rui Gao from China with an energetic attack.
Energetic play in the opening brought Gawain Jones victory against the young Wang Yiye from China.
