20 Apr Magnus Karlsen (2851) protiv Pentala Harikrišna (2763)
Karlsen je, pre svega, svetski šampion. Na ovom turniru je bio favorit, posebno kad se uzmu u obzir sve pobede u proteklih par godina. Mnogo puta su ove pobede došle posle lošeg starta, ali to nije slučaj i ovaj put.
Karlsen je pobedio Pentala Harikrišnu. Parom lovaca i malo boljom strukturom pozicije, Karlsen nije mogao da se žali na otvaranje. Ova prednost je iskorišćena za bolju poziciju sa izolovanim kraljičinim pionom u neprijateljskom kampu i lovcem protiv skakača.
Par puta je Karslen ponudio kraljicu kao žrtvu, ali je indijac Pental odbio i odlučio da preda skakača za par pešaka na kraljičinoj strani. Ipak, beli je napao i pobedio direktnim napadom na kralja. Odlična partija.

advantage is significant: better pieces, queenside majority and weak isolated
