In a Berlin Ruy Lopez (but not the ending) Carlsen was playing the second half of his game virtually a piece up. He finished in style with a knight sacrifice.GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and GM Wesley So are the two players trailing the world champion by a full point; they drew their mutual game today.
In the challengers group, GM David Navara is the sole leader after another win against GM Salem Saleh. Co-leader GM Wei Yi drew his game with GM Robin van Kampen.
