He has 3 points. Most of the other games also ended in draws, with the exception of the contest between Dmitry Andreikin of Russia and David Howell of Britain. In that game, Andreikin found a new idea in a well-known variation of the English opening. Surprised, Howell struggled and quickly fell into trouble. Andreikin’s rooks penetrated to the seventh rank, after which there was little Howell could do and he resigned after only 30 moves. Andreikin is tied for second with Fabiano Caruana of Italy and Evgeny Tomashevsky of Russia. They each have 2.5 points. Once ... | |
