Harikrishna-Nepomniachtchi also drawn and Grischuk has just completed a surprisingly one sided win with black against Eljanov. Rapport has won against Hou Yifan, also with black and Inarkiev has beaten Salem. Just the Giri game left.

Jakovenko-Giri & Gelfand-Adams were drawn. Aronian, Eljanov, Inarkiev & Rapport already in trouble in their games.

Nepomniachtchi is the first winner of the day quickly followed by Li Chao. Aronian lost to Harikrishna and Hou Yifan beat Salem.

Svidler-Mamedyarov & Grischuk-Radjabov drew, that just leaves Rapport's fairly hopeless looking ending.

Radjabov seems to be returning to form somewhat, doesn't he? Not at all an unwelcome development.

Li Chao has beaten Harikrishna and Grischuk-Mamedyarov was a draw. Giri is likely to win soon against Hou Yifan.
