Round 10
Round 10 was, in a way, a quiet one. Carlsen and Ivanchuk agreed on a GM draw, half an hour into the game, in a little more than 30 minutes. Ding Liren and Welsey so drew quite rapidly as well. MVL drew with Wojtaszek in 32 moves. Nothing changed on top of the standings, with the World Champion still leading by a full point over So and MVL. The real interesting fact of the day is the game Jobava-Caruana. Jobava came out of the opening with some problems to solve, but Caruana, after a complicated middle game, got in time trouble and missed some opportunity to get a good advantage. After time control, they got into the endgame with Caruana i nadvantage, but Jobava had the chance to force the Italian to a draw. Only, Baadur blundered horribly and lost almost on the spot. Tiredness, maybe a bit of demoralization due to the poor results Jobava has had so far, probably played an important role in this game. Caruana now shares 4th, with 6/10 together with Giri - who today beat Saric - Ivanchuk and Ding Liren.
