Game of the day: Shakhriyar Mamedyarov vs Anish Giri (see below)
Topalov-Kasimdzhanov: Kasimdzhanov uncorks a beautiful novelty with 12… c5!! This piece sacrifice gives him dangerous possibilities on the kingside while at the same time giving him pressure on a pinned knight on the c-file. A must see game for every fan of the semi-slav. Unfortunately for the rest of the chess fans, Topalov finds an adequate defense and the game peters out into a lifeless draw.
Ivanchuk-Adams Ivanchuk’s less than testing variation against the Nimzo-Indian allows Mickey to go up a pawn, but with a bad pawn structure. The English player promptly returns this pawn to easily hold a completely drawn rook endgame. Draw.
Dominguez-Gelfand: Gelfand relies on the Sveshnikov again, which I had dubbed the new Petroff. Maybe I was correct? Draw.
Wang Hao-Grischuk: After Grischuk outplays his opponent and shows better preparation from the opening, it seems everything is en route for him to get a point with the Black pieces. I can’t say that it was Wang Hao’s tenacity that saved him, more likely luck, when Grischuk completely misses a killing blow on move 27. After that, his position, though better, starts slipping away move by move and eventually the game finishes in a draw.
Nakamura-Leko: The American puts on pressure throughout the entire game, and enters a superior rook endgame. A long battle ensues, and White’s position keeps getting better and better. Eventually, in a very simplified endgame that is still very complex, Hikaru is unable to deliver the finishing blow. Leko shows great endgame mastery and saves a valuable half point. Draw.
