Young Bosnian GM Borki Predojevic is hero of the day. He won with Black pieces against Krishnan Sasikiran, which leaves the strong Indian at the bottom of the crosstable with zero points. Vladimir Malakhov outplayed Dortmund winner Arkadij Naiditsch in a nice tactical game after exchange sacrifice. Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu and Magnus Carlsen drew after 20 moves.
