Ronde 2
Analyse Maxime, Anish en Peter Svidler na de partij.
Quote Anish “far to many mistakes for such a position” after the move 15… Rg8. Anish missed 16. .. d5 after his move 15. Rg1. After this the position for white is already very difficult.

Blitz toernooi
Na negen ronden van het blitz toernooi, waarmee bepaald wordt wie 5x wit of 5x zwart zou krijgen in het hoofdtoernooi, is Magnus Carlsen met een punt voorsprong eerste geworden. In de laatste ronde was Anish Giri hem echter met wit de baas. Magnus ging in een hopeloze stelling door zijn vlag. De partij kunt u hieronder in de pgnviewer naspelen. Anish zelf verloor één keer (Maxim Vachier-Lagrave), won er 5 en speelde 3 keer remise.
