Moro Loses Again At Biel

Alexander Morozevich suffered his second consecutive loss with the black pieces in round six at the Biel GM tournament.

After obtaining a good position out of the opening, Moro was trying to press home his advantage when he erred badly with 43...e6.  A few moves later 49...Kxf6 lost any hope of saving the game as several deadly pins proved to be his downfall.

A tough loss for Morozevich, who drops back into the pack on 3/6, leaving Ivanchuk the sole leader on 3.5/6.

In the other games Caruana tried an interesting sacrifice against Gelfand in the Petroff defence, but it quickly petered out to a draw.  Ivanchuk had some play against Vachier-Lagrave, but a nicely timed sacrifice by the latter ensured the draw.
