| Gata Kamsky executed a superb technical win against David Navara’s Berlin Defense to the Ruy Lopez. As Black’s Bb6 in the diagram position loses to Rd6+, Navara must lose the ‘c5’ Pawn. After that it’s smooth sailing for Gata.

Boris Gelfand lost to World Number One (rated) Magnus Carlsen (See Comments). Although a tough tournament for Gelfand, it could be a blessing in that he knows he has some work to do before his World Championship match with Anand later this year. That work could lead to a tough match.
