Loek van Wely, arbiter Geurt Guijssen, and Jan Timman
Both matches are played over six games and though Timman and van Foreest drew their first two games, they put a lot of fight and excitement into them.

Neither Timman nor van Foreest is a favorite in this match. Timman has 14 elo-points more than his young opponent and is, of course, much, much more experienced, van Foreest might have more energy and will be extremely motivated.

In contrast, in the match between Sopiko Giri-Guramishvili and Anna Maja Kazarian there is a clear favorite: Giri-Gumishvili has 117 elo-points more than Kazarian and in the first two games this difference could be seen. Sopiko Giri-Guramishvili deservedly won both and now leads 2-0 in the match.

In the open tournament after four (from nine) rounds four players share the lead with 3.5/4: The Indian GMs Deep Sengupta, Vishnu Prasanna, Das Debashis, and Dutch GM Erwin l'Ami. The four leaders are followed by 15 players with 3.0/4 each.
In this group of 15 players is also top seed GM Abijheet Gupta. In round two he lost a theoretical duel against his well-prepared countryman GM R. Rajpara Ankit.
