A tactical nicety is the Firouja game.

Nepos queenside attack was inspiring. It seemed to be simplifying but he crashed thru in seeming effortless fashion.Comment

I also had my eye on Cordoba - Dubov, the Yu Yangyi game, Duda Henriquez and the Grischuk finish.Comment

Many nice endgames and the Jeffrey Xiong game was a powerplay performance.Comment
-
El Ghindy played a great game against Aronian and missed some winning opportunities at move 40.Comment

In game 2 rd 1 Peter Svidler had a cute miniature in a favorite line of mine in the Sicilian. The e6 advanced pawn lever, a Bf4 blocking sacrifice and plenty of knight action.Comment
-
Jeffery Xiong also finished his second game with a miniature.His mix of strategy and tactics has been very successful.Comment
-
El Ghindy again gave a great account of himself! - and he did well in the opening before he went wrong. Still two hard fought games against Aronian!Comment
-
Naiditsch, who used to lead the German players, went down convincingly against Huschenbeth. Generational changeover?Comment
-
The Shak had a gem of a finish with the two knights and queen (much more than routine)! Such knight play!Comment
-
Adhiban continued his superior play against Iturrizaga, allowing no tricks, and agreed to a draw in a much better positionComment
-
Christiansen - Wojtazcek must be the greatest upset match with Christiansen dominating in both games.Comment
-
Grischuk dominated both games with nice play.Comment
-
Lupulescu who lost a winning game in round 1 fought back in the second game and evened the score.Comment
