The Cuban
GM tied after 70 moves, thus achieving his ninth draw with one win
to accumulate 5.5 points. Only Leinier, world champion Anand and
Russian Kramnik have not tipped their King once.
The best of the day was seen from sensational Magnus Carlsen who
after yesterday’s defeat while playing with white pieces recovered
and was able to beat Russian GM and until-then undefeated Karjakin.
Equally important was Anand´s first win, this time against Alexey
Shirov, who was moved into second place by Russia's Vladimir Kramnik,
now with seven points alone.
Tomorrow is a rest day for the contestants to try to ease tensions
to enter fully into the final stretch. On Friday Leinier will play
Carlsen with black pieces in what will undoubtedly be a duel to the
death.
