Shreyas - Iniyan
GM Shreyas Royal's (ENG, 2493) ambitious attack on the kingside 21.Nh6+ did not work out. 21...gxh6 22.Bxf6 Qa8 23.Qg3 Rxd2 24.Bc3 Bd6 25.Nf4 Bxf4 26.exf4 Rde2 the reason White's attack did not pan out the way he wanted is his queen is tied in the defence of the g2-square. It is unable to capitalize on the control of long a1-h8 diagonal. GM Iniyan Pa (2573) won in four more moves.
Emre - Ilamparthi: 0-1
IM Ilamparthi A R (2469) made his intentions clear early in the game when he went 3...g5 in the Sicilian Moscow variation.
15...Ne3! does not gain any material but completely disintegrates White's position. 16.h4 Nc2+ 17.Kf1 Rg6 18.Ra4 Bb7 19.f3 0-0-0 20.Kf2 Bh6 and Black won the game in the next few moves.
