One terrible day for the white pieces in group A today… Shirov-Kramnik was an amazing game as white King was walking around and Black managed to catch it, not to speak of Giri-Nakamura where white King was stuck in the middle and got attacked pretty badly. Carlsen won a seemingly quiet Berlin after a nice fight on the queenside which gave him a strong passed pawn.
