Carlsen lost to Leko and Adams beat Van Wely. Aronian after a draw versus Eljanov shares the lead with Carlsen with 5.5 points followed by four players who are half a point behind. In Group B Movsesian (draw vs Short) leads with 6.5 points followed by Bacrot (draw vs Sargissian) who turned 25 today. Short is third. In Group C only two games ended in a draw. Caruana leads with 7.0 points, followed by Reinderman who is on 6.5 points. In the Honorary Group both games ended in a draw. Photos by Frits Agterdenbos.
