Gelfand won his match yesterday (2-0 over Karjakin), but Ponomariov and Malakhov still had work to do, and it was tiebreak time for them. Malakhov won the first game, with Black, but Ponomariov rebounded to win three in a row, and thus advance to the finals. At long last the players get a day off, and on Thursday the Gelfand-Ponomariov match will start. Note that it will be a four-game match (plus tie-breaks, if necessary), not two.
