27...Be6 28.Bb3 Qc5 Again the move 28...Nd2+ 29.Rxd2 Rxd2 30.Bxe6 Qxe6 31.Qb4+ Qd6 32.Qxd6+ Rxd6 is very strong. 29.Bxc4 Qxc4 30.Qxc4 Bxc4 31.Rxd8+ Rxd8 32.Re1 f6 33.b3 Bd5 34.Re3 Bc6 35.Kc2 Rd4 36.Ng1 Rf4 37.Kd3 Kf7 38.a4 a5 39.Kd2 e4 40.fxe4 Rxg4 0–1

21.Bg2 Bg7 22.Ne2 Qf6 23.Rd2 Na5 24.f4 Nxc4 25.Rd4 Na5 26.Bf3 [diagram]
Here Black could return his bishop to the b-file: 26......Bb7 27.Qe3 Rb5 28.Nxa5 Rxa5 29.Ka1 Rb5 with equality. 26...Rgb5 27.e5 Qe7 28.Nec1 [diagram]
28...Nxb3± 29.Nxb3 f6 30.Rc1 Kf8 31.Rdc4 [diagram]
31...Bb7?+- Maybe Black did not feel the danger. He should have played ...Qd8 or ...Qe8. 32.Bxb7 R8xb7 33.Rc8+ Kf7 34.Qf3 Kg6 35.Rg1+ Kh7 [diagram]
36.Qd3+ f5 37.Rg2 d6 Playing 37...Rb8 38.Rc1 Rd5 39.Qxa6 Qb4 40.Qc4 Bf8 would make more problems for White. 38.exd6 Qd7 [diagram]
3. Volokitin,And (2662) - Morozevich,A (2731) [C92]
In this difficult position White makes a blunder. He could have played 33.Qc2 Qb7 34.Nd2 Bf7 35.g3 Qb5 36.Rf3 33.Re8Ba2 34.Qxa2+ Qxa2 35.Rxb8 c4 36.Nd4 c3 37.Ne6 [diagram]
4. Morozevich,A (2731) - Pelletier,Y (2583) [C10]
White's daring move was 19. b4. He could have played the quiet Kb1. 19...Nd7 20.Kb2 Nxe5 21.fxe5 Kh8 22.Qe3 Rd7 23.g4 Rfd8 24.g5 hxg5 25.Qh3+ Kg8 26.Qh7+ Kf8 27.Re3 g4 28.Qh8+ Ke7 29.Qxg7 [diagram]
5. Volokitin,And (2662) - Carlsen,M (2675) [B60]
6. Pelletier,Y (2583) - Volokitin,And (2662) [E59]
White's attack is strong but ...Kh8 seems to meet the danger: 21...Kh8 22.Bd5 Bd3 23.c4 b5 24.cxb5 Rxb5 25.Red1 c4 21...Rd8? 22.Red1 Bb7 23.Qe5 Rxg2+ 24.Kf1 Qb8 25.Bxf7+ Kh8 26.Rxd8+ Qxd8 [diagram]
7. Carlsen,M (2675) - Bruzon,L (2667) [C77]
Black could keep the equality by playing 34...Bc6 35.bxc5 dxc5 36.Qa7+ Kd6 37.h3 Qh4 38.Qb8+ Kd7= 34...c4? Now all the moves are forced 'till the 40th move. 35.Bd1 Qh4 36.Qa7+ Kf8 37.Qxa8+ Kg7 38.Nf1 cxd3 39.Bf3 d2 40.Kg1 Nxe4 41.Qd5 Nxg3 42.f6+ Kxf6 43.Qxd6+ Kg7 44.Qxe5+ f6 45.Qe7+ Kg6 46.Qe8+ Kg7 47.hxg3 Qc4 48.Qe7+ Kg8 49.Qd8+ 1–0

9. Wang Yue (2626) - Acs,P (2520) [E81]
10. Almasi,Z (2672) - Harikrishna,P (2682) [C89]
29.Nxh6+ Kg7 30.Rxf7+ Rxf7+ 31.Nxf7 Rf5+ 32.Kg4 Rxf7 33.Bxf7 Kxf7 34.Kxg5 would have led to a draw. Instead... 29.Bxf7? Rxf7 30.Nxh6+ Kg7 31.Rxf7+ Kxh6 32.b4 Be7 33.Bd4 Kg6 34.Rf4 Rf5 35.Rxf5 Kxf5 36.g4 Ke6 37.Be3 Kd5 0–1
