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
