Tikkanen-So was a pretty easy draw for Black, but in the other games the weaker side had to suffer before sharing the point. Shirov enjoyed some edge against Giri with the Bishop's Opening, but couldn't make anything of an extra pawn. Finally, Grandelius-Hector was a complicated game that eventually reached an ending where White had a rook and f-pawn against bishop, knight and h-pawn. It seemed that Black should win, but if there was a win Hector couldn't find it, and after 101 moves Grandelius could finally call it a day.
With two rounds to go So, Giri and Tikkanen lead with 2/3, half a point ahead of Shirov.
