Pentala Harikrishna chose a very strange opening against Radoslaw Wojtaszek and he obtained nearly no advantage. Some simplifications later the game ended in a drawish endgame that was played out until the very end.
Radoslaw Wojtaszek was faced with something unusual in move six of the Najdorf
Pentala Harikrishna might have taken inspiration from one of his own old games
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave showed excellent positional understanding and technique in his victory over Anish Giri. With the slightest of advantages, the pair of bishops in a closed position, MVL was somehow able to improve, improve and improve his position until Giri was forced to resign in a hopeless endgame!
Giri has five decisive games so far! But he has lost more than he has won...
MVL on the other hand remains undefeated and is one point ahead of the field
An important game between the top rated players
In an unusual turn of events the World Champion Hou Yifan used a deep theoretical line against Alexander Motylev. The Russian player, however, had an improvement on move 21! Hou Yifan had to use some creativity but she was able to hold the draw in an endgame that was maybe slightly better for White.
Hou Yifan: the opening expert?!
