Grischuk, Carlsen and Aronian lead the event with 3.5 points. Gelfand and Anand shared 4th-5th with 2.5 points.
Carlsen-Gashimov was an interesting Q+p vs Q endgame:
Nakamura blundered a R vs Aronian in a blindforl game while having a winning position
Grischuk won a very interesting game vs Gelfand after white blundered with 50.Kf3
