Today's standing out facts in Berlin are that Wesley So won again, defeating Dominguez in Pool D, and Dubov won his first game in the competition, coming out of a negative streak.  

 Pool A 1 2 3 4 PTS Grischuk aa 1/2 1/2-1/2 1/2-1/2 2.0 Nakamura 1/2 aa 1 1/2-1/2 2.5 Esipenko 1/2-1/2 0 aa 1 2.0 Bacrot 1/2-1/2 1/2 0 aa 1.5

In Pool A we had two draws, with Hikaru Nakamura still in the lead by half a point over Grischuk and Esipenko.

 Pool B 1 2 3 4 PTS Wojtaszek aa 1/2 1-1/2 1/2 2.5 Fedoseev 1/2 aa 0 1-1 2.5 Rapport 0-1/2 1 aa 1/2 2.0 Oparin 1/2 0-0 1/2 aa 1.0

In Pool B Fedoseev defeated Oparin, who is already out of contention, with only a point. Fedoseev joined Wojtaszek - who drew his game - in the lead, with 2.5/4.

 

 Pool C 1 2 3 4 PTS Aronian aa 1/2 1 1-1/2 3.0 Dubov 1/2 aa 1/2-1 0 2.0 Keymer 0 1/2-0 aa 1/2 1.0 Gujrathi 0-1/2 1 1/2 aa 2.0

In Pool C Aronian, with a draw with Vidit, strengthened his leadership: he now leads by a whole point over Dubov, who finally won his first game today, against the young German GM Keymer.

 

 Pool D 1 2 3 4 PTS So aa 1/2-1 1/2 1 3.0 Dominguez 1/2-0 aa 1/2 1 2.0 Harikrishna 1/2 1/2 aa 1/2-1/2 2.0 Shirov 0 0 1/2-1/2 aa 1.0

In Pool D Shirov was able to resist Harikrishna, deserving the half-point. It was an intense battle.

 

Wesley So, one of the favorites for the final victory, after a couple of games he drew saying he was jet-lagged, won the second game in a row, defeating Dominguez. Now Wesley leads by a whole point, like Aronian in pool C.
