pressure against GM Anton Korobov in the second game
in their quarterfinalmatch of the FIDE World Cup in Tromsø.

the semifinals where he will face the winner of the match
between GM Fabiano Caruana and GM Maxier Vachier-
Lagrave. They played another draw yesterday and are

errors from GM Gata Kamsky and won with black. He is
through to the semis after 1,5-0,5 against the American.

Svidler and GM Dmitry Andreikin. They played a short
