Just when it looked like everything was in good working order for Azerbaijan their top board Teimour Radjabov made a very undistinguished opening choice which at the very least allowed Arkadij Naiditsch to equalised after only a few moves and he was probably doing quite a bit better than that. It seems like 29.g5 was an error and this should have been prepared by 29.Rg1. Naiditsch played classically after that disintegrating white's centre for a decisive advantage.

29... fxg5 30. Rg1 h6 31. h4 gxh4 32. Rbf1 b5 33. cxb5 Qxb5 34. Qd1 c4 35. dxc4 Qb7 36. Nb4 Rxa3 37. c5 Nxe4 38. c6 Qxb4 39. cxd7 Qb7 40. Kh2 Ra2+ 41. Rg2 Qxd7 42. Nxh4 Rxg2+ 43. Kxg2 Nf6 44. Ng6+ Kh7 45. Nxe5 Qd5+ 46. Nf3 Ra2+ 47. Kh1 d3 48. Kg1 Qe4 49. Rf2 Qe3 50. Nd2 Qd4 0-1

Vugar Gashimov quickly equalised against Georg Meier with black. Eltaj Safarli held Jan Gustafsson without any problems either.

Shakhriyar Mamedyarov tried very hard against Daniel Fridman who held a very dodgy looking position by using a passed b-pawn to force a draw and thus secured Germany victory.

49... Kh8 50. Be4 Rc1 51. g6 Rc5 52. Nf4 Rc4 53. Bf5 Rc5 54. Bb1 Rc1 55. Bd3 Rc3 56. Bb1 Rc1 57. Bf5 Rc5 58. g7+ Kxg7 59. Bb1 1/2-1/2

Levon Aronian's skittish performance in the event continued with a win against Anish Giri. Aronian didn't seem to have anything at all out of the opening but whistled up a very dangerous initiative from almost nowhere after which Giri found he was losing.

33.... Rb4?

33... h6 seems better although the b-pawn is causing black all sorts of problems

34. Qf5

White is now winning.

34...Qe7 35. Nc6 Qe4+ 36. Qxe4 Rxe4 37. b6 Nd7 38. b7 f6 39. b8=Q+ Nxb8 40. Nxb8 Rb4 41. Nd7 Rb5 42. Rxa4 Kf7 43. Ra6 1-0

Loek van Wely got nothing as white against Sergei Movsesian in a game drawn in 20 moves. Nor did Daniel Stellwagen ever look better against Gabriel Sargissian and he gave perpetual check for a draw on move 34.

Vladimir Akopian gave up a pawn in the middlegame against Ivan Sokolov for a couple of tempi and some slight pressure. Sokolov's position should have been holdable but once Akopian's king penetrated his position on the run up to first time control he was lost.

29. Rd3 Nxh2+ 30. Kg2 Ng4 31. f4 g5 32. Re6 Rg8 33. Kf3 Rg6 34. Rd2 gxf4 35. Kxf4 Nf6 36. Rh2 Rdg8 37. Rxd6 Rg4+ 38. Kxf5 Ne4 39. Rdh6 Nxg3+ 40. Ke6 Re4+ 41. Kd7 Rg7+ 42. Kc6 Rxc4 43. d6 Nf5 44. Rf6 Rf4 45. Rf8+ Rg8 46. Rxg8+ Kxg8 47. d7 Nd4+ 48. Kxc5 1-0

Romania drew with Hungary 2-2. Peter Leko got a quick draw with black with Constantin Lupulescu.

Zoltan Almasi pounced on a bad error by Mircea-Emilian Parligras.

23... b6

23... Kd8 24. Nd6 b6 and play goes on.

24. Nxa6 Rc6 25. Rxc6 Bxc6 26. Nd6+ Nxd6 27. exd6 Qb7 28. d7+ Bxd7 29. Qd6 1-0

Levante Vajda broke through in a major piece ending against Ferenc Berkes. Csaba Balogh seemed to be doing well at one point against Gergely-Andras-Gyula but in the end the game finished in perpetual check.

Bulgaria 3-1 Italy. Michele Godena seemed to be doing very well on the black side of a Queen's Gambit Accepted against Veselin Topalov but then went very wrong and lost quickly.

24... Qg5

24... Qh4 seems best

25. Qe4 Bxc4

This loses but things are already tricky. 25... Bb7 and 25... Nb8 are not fully satisfactory.

26. Bxc4 Na5 27. e6 Nf6 28. exf7+ Rxf7 29. Bxf7+ 1-0

Ivan Cheparinov saw more deeply through the complications than his opponent Daniyyl Dvirnyy and forced resignation in 29 moves. Alexander Delchev drew with Sabino Brunello in a balanced game. Axel Rombaldoni couldn't convert a decisive advantage against Kiril Georgiev and the game eventually drifted to a draw.

Russia 2.5-1.5 France. Alexander Grischuk won a game against Etienne Bacrot where he stood a little worse for much of the time and Bacrot finally wrecked his position on the run up to first time control. Sergey Karjakin also outplayed his opponent on the run up to first time control. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave was not much better early on but after move 30 his position fell apart.

30... a5 31. Nb5 Rd8 32. e4 Bxd4+ 33. Nxd4 Qc5 34. exf5 Qxd4+ 35. Kh1 exf5 36. Rc1 Kf8 37. Bb5 Qd2 38. Rc7 Qd1+ 0-1

Alexander Morozevich made no progress against Laurent Fressinet. Christian Bauer was more alert than Ian Nepomniachtchi in a lengthy manoeuvring game and pounced on a bad error.

45... Qxe6?

Losing 45...Rg8 is equal.

46. f4! Rd8 47. fxg5+ Kh7 48. Nc4 Rh4 49. Qb7+ Rd7 50. Qa8 Qd5+ 51. Qxd5 Rxd5 52. Re1 Rh3 53. Bf6 Kg8 54. Re8+ Kf7 55. Re7+ Kf8 56. Ne5 Rxe5 57. Rxe5 Rc3 58. Kg2 c4 59. bxc4 Rxc4 60. Rxa5 b3 61. Rb5 1-0

Czech Republic 2.5-1.5 Serbia. Board 4 Jiri Stocek beat Milos Perunovic with black in the only decisive game.

Poland and especially Greece have put a lot of effort into this event. Today there were four pretty short draws.

England beat Finland 3.5-0.5, Adams drew with Tomi Nyback on top board. There were wins for Nigel Short, Gawain Jones and Nicholas Pert in the remaining games were they vastly outrated their opponents.
