Candidates 2013 - Round 3: A Fighting Chess With Time Troubles

Round 3 has started this afternoon at 14:00 GMT and today is a "1.d4-day".

Parings are as follows

No	Pairings	ECO	Opening
3.1	Gelfand-Carlsen	D52	Cambridge-Springs QGD
3.2	Ivanchuk-Aronian	A47	Trompowsky Attack
3.3	Kramnik-Grischuk	D76	g3-Grünfeld
3.4	Svidler-Radjabov	E81	Sämisch KID

As you can see the match is tough and some guys are time troubles addicts! I venture to say that Ivanchuk and Radjabov are the major sinners. Having played move 21, Ivanchuk has only 8 minutes to go in very complex position. On the other hand, Radjabov has 48 s to make 9 moves, but it looks as if his position was completely lost.

3.1   Gelfand vs Carlsen   0-1


3.2   Ivanchuk vs Aronian   0-1




3.3   Kramnik vs Grischuk   ½–½



3.4   Svidler vs Radjabov   1-0
