Still solidly in first: French #1 Maxime Vachier-Lagrave
This game was quite a spectacle as the evaluation and the material balance swung wildly!
Despite the three draw results today, it is clear that the day was far from peaceful. For starters the game between Pentala Harikrishna and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave had "sacrifice" as the name of the game. Black sacrificed an exchange for activity, only for the Indian player to counter-sacrifice a piece! At the end Black had to be winning at some point in the endgame, but with time pressure looming MVL could not convert.
Radoslaw Wojtaszek didn't find any entry points in Alexander Motylev's position and the game was relatively dull.
Radoslaw Wojtaszek hasn't had the most exciting games this tournament, but his results are good
The last game of the day was an intense fight. Anish Giri came up with an excellent preparation in a sharp variation of the Scheveningen Sicilian and it was clear that Hou Yifan was in trouble. Somehow or another the World Champion mustered resources and defenses and despite her clear disadvantage she was able to make a draw; albeit a very suffered one!
The "mini-match" favored Hou Yifan 1.5-0.5
You could say Anish Giri let Hou Yifan escape
But with such resourceful defense from the World Women's Champion it is unclear where Giri could have improved
