All news about Baku Grand Prix
Ivan Cheparinov found his form after the starting four defeats and scored 4 points in the last 5 rounds. Today he played Caro-Kann with black pieces, which is very rare in his practice, and grabbed a victory after refuting Teimour Radjabov's attack. Both players agreed during the press conference that this simply was not Radjabov's day and that he played aggressive, more than position was allowing. Radjabov added that loss is not a tragedy, there are still three rounds to go.
Teimour Radjabov and Ivan Cheparinov
The other six games ended in draws. Magnus Carlsen was slightly disappointed - "I wanted to win, but without much blood. It didn't happen.". The rest day did well to David Navara, who ended his bad sequence. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov picked a "rather risky, but promising line against the Chebanenko Slav defence". He admitted that Alexander Grischuk set him into confusion with a brave yet strong 16...Be7 and that draw was well deserved result.
