The game of the day was Nisipeanu's win against Ivanchuk. The Romanian Grandmaster nicely outplayed his opponent in the Berlin Variation of the Ruy Lopez. "I think he underestimated the dangers in his position" said Nisipeanu after the game.

Carlsen didn't get much out of the opening against Radjabov and had to settle for a draw. The same happened with Karjakin against Nakamura: in these games Black's better opening preparation fully paid off.
