Giri, Anish ½-½ Kramnik, Vladimir
Giri's dxc5 idea against what Kramnik used vs. Nakamura in the Olympiad wasn't particularly successful. The isolated pawn that Kramnik got was not a huge cause of concern and the Russian player held the draw.
Kramnik's new line seems to keep yielding results
Yesterday marked a big milestone in Anish Giri's life: Daniel Giri was born! Congratulations to Anish and Sopiko.
Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar ½-½ Aronian, Levon
This game's structure was almost a carbon copy of the Giri-Kramnik: an isolated d-pawn for Black with White having a lightsquared bishop against a knight. Aronian traded the d-pawn rather quickly in this game, though, and obtained near full equality.
No problems in the IQP
Li Chao ½-½ Nepomniachtchi, Ian
Cool prep by Nepomniachtchi, using an MVL idea that was improved on by Chirila earlier this year. At the end the quick liquidation of many pieces led to a completely drawn rook endgame.
Li Chao is very proficient in the black side of the Grunfeld...
But so is Nepo!
Anand, Viswanathan ½-½ Svidler, Peter
Perhaps the liveliest of today's games.
There were some chances for Anand today, but he needed to be extremely precise
Gelfand, Boris ½-½ Tomashevsky, Evgeny
The players found a way to repeat in a closed Catalan that had no particular interest.
The Israeli player gets his first half point in the last six rounds, doubling his score!
