Four D4 openings and only one E4 - a Sicilian in round 8. The other is a Reti (1.Nf3) A positional player's dream round.Comment

Rd 8 Impressed with GM Van Foreest's endgame skill. He basically entered the endgame at move 22 and the position was equal. Then he steadily outplayed his opponent engineering a kingside pawn breakthrough.Comment

GM Van Foreest is now in clear first with 7.5 out of 8, a point ahead of the field.Last edited by Hans Jung; Thursday, 18 July, 2024, 12:44 PM.Comment

Rd 8 Upset of the round has to be CM Yang vs GM Sambuev. They are still playing but Yang handlled Sambuev's kingside pawn onslaught well and initiated nice tactics to end up two pawns and a rook against a lone rook. All GM Sambuev can do is suffer. GM Sambuev has resigned.Last edited by Hans Jung; Thursday, 18 July, 2024, 12:26 PM.Comment

Rd 8 IM Lawson has done well to have theoretically drawn rook and pawn endgame a pawn down with all pawns on the same side against GM Mikhalevsky.Comment

Rd 8 GM Fedorowicz went down in flames against GM Kantans. 24.Nf4 allowed a nice counterattacking combo of 24...Bg4 and the rook sacrifice Rxc2 opening White's king position.Comment

Rd 8 IM Chiku-Ratte was gradually outplayed by GM Stefansson. Nice handling of the two bishops!Comment
