TIME TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

One more round is over for six chess players.

Having defeated their opponents in classical chess, Judit Polgar (outplayed Sergey Karjakin), Vugar Gashimov, Alexander Grischuk, Dmitry Jakovenko, Teimur Rajabov and Bu Xiangzhi managed to make another rest day. The rest of the participants have to get down to business — another exhausting tie break games are ahead.

 

Everyone has its own way to calm down during the game. The most popular way is to walk around the tables, at the same time watching the opponents. Besides Shakhriyar Mamediarov for instance likes to twist pieces in his hands. Emil Sutovsky likes to crack nuts which he brings to the Playing hall.
