The French duel between...
...Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (left, with White) and Etienne Bacrot
David Guijarro Anton vs Pentala Harikrishna
One of the players who now share the lead is top seed Hikaru Nakamura, winner of the Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2015. In a topical line of the Grünfeld with 3.f3 he won with White against Abhijeet Gupta.

The Indian grandmaster Sethuraman also scored a full point to catch up to the leaders. He won against Polish grandmaster Radoslaw Wojtaszek, long-time second of Vishy Anand. Wojtaszek easily equalized with Black but then lost the thread.
The other pursuers who won were Li Chao (against Luka Lenic) and Sebastian Mazé (against Ni Hua).
The young German talent Dimitrij Kollars lost his game but might have been happy anyway. He was paired against Vishy Anand, and how many chances does a young player have to play against such a chess legend? Anand is not in form in Gibraltar, but Kollars still showed a lot of respect and Anand scored a smooth victory.
The best women-player after eight rounds was Women's World Champion Mariya Muzychuk. In round nine she drew against Gata Kamsky. Anna Muzychuk trailed her sister by half a point before the round but won against Padmini Rout and caught up with Mariya.
