Radjabov, Teimour ½-½ Giri, Anish
Radjabov was unable to get much from the opening. After repeating a long variation of the Petroff it seemed as if the Dutch player was better prepared, easily equalizing and keeping a draw in the Queen and Rook endgame.

Giri played the Petroff (also known as the Russian Defense),
an opening he was known for but didn't use last year at all
Dominguez, Leinier ½-½ Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar

Dominguez's tournament has been full wasted advantages. There are at least three instances where he held
a clear advantage but the game ended in a draw (today, vs. Svidler and vs. Jakovenko).

Svidler, Peter ½-½ Grischuk,Alexander
A very exciting Grunfeld. Grischuk sacrificed a piece, and Svidler saw nothing better than to accept this gift, which allowed Black to force a perpetual.

When Svidler plays a crazy Grunfeld, he usually is on the black side!

Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime ½-½ Jakovenko, Dmitry
Another anti-Berlin, and one in which Black was under considerable pressure. Despite the opposite colored bishops, the superior pawn structure gave MVL a definite pull. He even managed to win a pawn, but Jakovenko was able to get it back very soon and the game fizzled into a draw.

MVL could have put just a bit more pressure today
Kasimdzhanov, Rustam ½-½ Jobava, Baadur
Kasimdzhanov must be kicking himself for not winning this one, though to be fair Jobava must be kicking himself for accepting a draw in the final position!

Only Jobava would play this Slav variation in a Grand Prix

The Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs of Georgia, Levan Kipiani, made the opening move

Andreikin, Dmitry ½-½ Tomashevsky, Evgeny
Probably only needing a draw to secure first place, Tomashevsky chose to put his trust on his pet Noteboom, though it is far from a drawish line. The game was very complex, and as most Notebooms, very difficult to understand. White's pair of bishops and massive pawn center was somehow unable to break through and Black's powerful passed pawns on the queenside always proved to be dangerous. Andreikin even won a piece at a point, for two pawns, but was unable to make progress regardless.

"The Noteboom? No way!" But Tomashevsky was faithful to his guns.

It's over: the draw is sealed by perpetual check and Tomashevsky claims the Tbilisi GP

He can be pretty content. 29 rating points puts him at number 18 in the live rating list!
