Wang Hao found a nasty initiative to beat joint leader Fabiano Caruana in a Slav Exchange and lift himself into a share of 2nd place. This left Sergey Karjakin alone in the lead on 5.5/9 ahead of a group of 6 players on 5. All the other games were drawn: Dominguez-Mamedyarov was a lively English sideline with tactics right from the start that ended in perpetual check. Kasimdzhanov-Morozevich, Leko-Svidler, Ponomariov-Kamsky and Karjakin-Gelfand were also drawn without undue excitement.
