Today Ian Nepomniachtchi has joined tournament leaders Leko and Gustafsson. He beat Van Wely in a well-prepared Najdorf. Again, three games ended in a draw - but all of them exciting this time. Update: commentary.

(Please note that his is the last report not made from Dortmund, Germany. During the last three rounds, ChessVibes will be present at the Sparkassen Chess Meeting 2008 for new, on-the-sport video reporting!)

Here are the games of the fourth round:
