The playing hall
Mr. 100 percent - after four rounds Alexei Shirov leads with 4.0/4.
Vidit Santosh Gujrathi from India
In his game against the young Indian Shirov showed that he is not only a great tactician but also a strong positional player. In a position that seemed to be almost equal Shirov found ways to put his opponent under pressure and though Vidit made no obvious mistake he was not able to hold the game.
Wesley So
Wesley So impressed with fine energetic play which brought him a convincing victory against Julio Granda Zuniga.
