Kramnik, Vladimir 1-0 Anand, Viswanathan
A few lost tempi by Anand's bishop was enough for Big Vlad to apply serious pressure.
Vladimir is back to 50% and drags Vishy down to 50% with him
Talk about an old rivalry...
Gelfand, Boris 0-1 Li Chao
Gelfand continues to have a rough time this tournament, going down to -3. Li Chao's novelty was quite good, but Gelfand shouldn't have found himself in such trouble so quickly.
The Chinese player clearly came well prepared in his Grunfeld
Tomashevsky, Evgeny ½-½ Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar
For the second day in a row Tomashevsky's game is by far the longest. His advantage of knight and bishop against rook in the endgame was close to a decisive edge, but it was still a tough technical task. Tomashevsky's trade of the h-pawn for the c-pawn simplified the position too much, and it became very hard to win. After 83 moves, Mamedyarov finally earned his draw.
No stone left unturned: Tomashevsky in another six hour game
Svidler, Peter 0-1 Giri, Anish
En fuego! Giri's hat-trick propels him to being tournament leader after an unfortunate queen venture by Svidler. Important to not that Giri has won two of his three games with black.
With today's win, Anish scrapes back to the top-10 in the live rating list
Nepomniachtchi, Ian ½-½ Aronian, Levon
Despite Nepo's pair of bishops, Aronian's better structure and strong knights in the center probably gave him a slight advantage. It was difficult to make any realistic progress, though, as the pair of bishops were always a nuisance. With every trade on the board the game became more equal, until eventually a drawn endgame was reached.
Four straight draws for Levon, while Ian is happy on +2
