Shakriyar Mamedyarov scored 3.5/5 on day 2. His loss in round 10
against Ivanchuk cost him the clear lead.
With 3.5/5 Magnus Carlsen repeated his result of day 1. With five rounds to go he is one point
behind Ivanchuk and still has chances to win the tournament. (Screenshot from the live transmission)
Things did not go too well for Anton Korobov (right), who had been leading
the tournament with 5.0/5 after day 1. On day 2 he just managed to get 2.0/5.
Levon Aronian will neither be too happy about his result on day 2. He scored 2.5/5.
Hikaru Nakamura, who started as second seed into the tournament,
is not in top shape in Doha, and after 10 rounds he has 5.5 points.
Sergey Karjakin (left) also has 5.5/10. Here Karjakin shares a smile
with Laurent Fressinet, who was second of Magnus Carlsen at the
