Alexander Morozevich had a pretty easy day as Dominguez was completely lost after just 18 moves. 18...Qb6 was a losing move but 18...Rf4 was hardly appetising either. Morozevich finished things off accurately after that. Leko-Wang Hao draw in Gruenfeld where Leko hardly made anything of the white pieces. Caruana-Ponomariov Scotch Game where all the pieces came off. Kamsky-Kasimdzhanov Ruy Lopez draw in 40. Svidler-Karjakin English draw in 25 moves by repetition. Gelfand-Mamedyarov Queens Gambit draw in 33 moves.
