GM Pa Iniyan scored a nice victory over GM Eltaj Safarli (AZE) to get in the chase

IM Aronyak Ghosh - GM Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus (TUR): 0.5-0.5

Raunak - Muradli

Position after 32...Rc8

In a winning position, GM Mahammad Muradli (AZE, 2560) played 32...Rc8. GM Raunak Sadhwani (2654) correctly found 33.Bxf7+! Kxf7 However, he could not find the correct follow through 34.Qh8. It was difficult to calculate as he was down to his last few seconds. He played 34.Qf6+ and once again Black put his king to safety Kg8 and won the game in another five moves.

GM Mahammad Muradli (AZE) defeated GM Raunak Sadhwani to gain sole lead 4.5/5

Ivic - Aronyak

Position after 32.Nxb5

GM Velimic Ivir (SRB, 2595) captured the b5-pawn and threatened to take the a7-pawn too. His opponent, IM Aronyak Ghosh (2528) needed to go for the bold 32...Ng4 33.Qxa7+ Kg6 34.Re7 Qh2+ 35.Kf1 Qh1+ 36.Ke2 Qb1 this is an extremely complex and risky line. Black opted for the cautious 32...Rd7 and this time White decided to sacrifice the exchange before things went out of control 33.Rxe5 fxe5 34.Qxe5 and soon the game ended in a draw.

IM Aronyak Ghosh had to make a bold decision to beat GM Velimir Ivic (SRB)

Safarli - Iniyan

Position after 18...f5

GM Eltaj Safarli (AZE, 2594) sacrificed an exchange 19.Rxe4? fxe4 20.Nd2 Rf8 White never got enough compensation. GM Pa Iniyan (2493) played correctly and converted his material advantage into a win.
