Round four under way
A round that brought the players even closer! Morozevich, the sole leader before the start of the round, fell to a clean game by Lysyj. Zvjaginsev, who had 2.0/3, also lost his game. Vitiugov's pair of bishops proved to be too powerful and Black was unable to defend.
The other three games were drawn. Jakovenko and Karjakin found a way to draw in 25 moves. Nepo pressed against Grachev but without success while Khismatullin held a very sizeable advantage (probably decisive at some point) against Svidler but was unable to find the correct way to make progress.

What a fighting round! Every single game today was decisive, and all three of the leaders won their games! This leaves Kosteniuk, Goryachkina and Girya still at the top, but now with 3.0/4. The three leaders took very different approaches to their game. Goryachkina took advantage of a strategical mistake by her opponent to gain an advantage and push that forward to victory, Kosteniuk punished a tactical mistake by Pogonina to win her game while Girya went all out with a knight and a rook in the very early phase of the game to secure a pawn and the win!
Gunina got somewhat lucky by trapping her opponent's rook in the middle of the board when she was in a worse position. Lastly Bodnaruk was unable to capitalize on her attack and she was ultimately unable to justify her sacrificed piece against Galiamova.
