Vassily Ivanchuk outplayed Teimur Rajabov in the first game of the 5^th Round. At the press conference Vassily explained where his opponent made mistakes.

— Vassily, please tell us how did you manage to win the game over the Azeri chess player? — After the opening there was rather complicated maneuvered battle. I did not manage to get at least a small positional advantage which was hard to realize. My opponent missed the tactical blow and let me move my Knight on f6. After that I got a winning position. Black did not have enough compensation for a Queen. It had only Rook and Knight and pawn on h4 was inevitably being lost.

— Do you feel tired after the tie breaks? — No, I am in a good shape.
