Srinath - Masoud: 1-0

GM Masoud Mosadeghpour (IRI) made an incorrect calculation which cost him material against GM Srinath Narayanan.

Position after 16...c3

16...c3 lands Black in trouble 17.bxc3 Nxc3 18.Qb2 Nxe2+ 19.Kh1 and now White has too many threats Bxb6, Bxa8 and Bb4. There is no good way for Black to get out of it. 19...Rxa5 20.Rxa5 Qd8 21.Nb3 Nc4 22.Qxe2 Nxa5 23.Nxa5 Qxd4. Black might have two pawns for a piece but it is just not enough. White converted his advantage into a full point with ease.

Misratdin - Aditya: 0.5-0.5

IM Aditya Mittal played solid against GM Misratdin Iskandarov (AZE). Just when it seemed like the game is heading towards a draw, White made a tiny error.

Position after 25.Qc7

25.Qc7 is a mistake. It creates an opportunity for Black to stir up some trouble. Find out what it is. White needed to play 25.e5 instead.

Koustav - Krasenkow: 0.5-0.5

IM Koustav Chatterjee got himself a completely winning position against GM Michal Krasenkow after the latter blundered in the final moments of the rook and few pawns endgame.

Position after 52...b5

52...b5 is a blunder. Find out the winning continuation for White. 52...Rf8+ 53.Ke5 Re8+ and the game should end in a draw.
