FIDE Grand Prix in Baku

14 October 2014 [09:30] - TODAY.AZ
After the entertaining round 9 of FIDE Grand Prix in Baku and losses by Fabiano Caruana and Boris Gelfand, the tournament is wide open with only two games to go!
The round abounded with the decisive results despite two relatively quick draws in Teymur Rajabov- Sergey Karjakin and Peter Svidler- Evgeny Tomashevsky.
Next, Hikaru Nakamura won a piece from Rustam Kasimdzhanov, while Shahriyar Mammadyarov defeated Boris Gelfand.
More action followed when Fabiano Caruana erred and allowed Alexander Grischuk to unleash the combined power of the queen and the knight.
Leinier Dominguez assumed the advantage after Dmitry Andreikin's ungrounded piece sacrifice, but then the Cuban lost the thread and the game.
Two rounds before the end as many as six players are sharing the lead: Caruana, Nakamura, Karjakin, Gelfand, Rajabov and Svidler.
