ACP Rapid: Jakovenko, Radjabov, Grischuk and Karjakin through
Yes, that was today's show: Jakovenko, Radjabov, Grischuk and Karjakin qualified for the semi-finals of the 2nd ACP Rapid Cup. The young guard indeed, because for 'oldies' Ivanchuk, Gelfand and Svidler it's now over, and also for Inarkiev. The match of the day was Ivanchuk-Radjabov: first two draws in the rapids, and then Radjabov won the first blitz game. Ivanchuk then managed to equal the score with Black, to be eliminated anyway in a dramatic sudden-death game.| Jakovenko, Dmitry | RUS | 2720 | 1.5-0.5 | Inarkiev, Ernesto | RUS | 2681 |
| Radjabov, Teimour | AZE | 2735 | 3-2 | Ivanchuk, Vassily | UKR | 2751 |
