CSU ASE Superbet - Schachclub Viernheim 1934 e.V. : 3-3
Vishy Anand (2756) scored the most important win over Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (2747) for CSU ASE Superbet in the fourth round. Gukesh lost his game and the remaining four games ended in draws.
Ahmad - Mamedyarov
White's position might look absolutely uncomfortable here. His king is exposed, pieces are cramped, on the other hand, Black's position looks absolutely pleasant. Vishy Anand was playing with the white pieces. It goes without saying that he can obviously find and see things which mere mortals cannot. 29.Rf1 Ne5 30.f4 Nc4 31.Nxc4 Qxc4 32.f5 Bf7 33.Rf4 Qd5 34.Rd4 Qe5 35.Bf4 Qe2 36.Qxe2 dxe2 37.Re4 e1Q+ 38.Rcxe1 Bxe1 39.Rxe1 White completely turned things around in just ten moves.

Pentala Harikrishna (2717) lost to the world champion, Magnus Carlsen (2856). Vidit Gujrathi (2710) registered his fourth win in-a-row. This time he defeated Aryan Tari (2656).
Vidit - Tari
Tari went wrong 27...c4 in an already difficult endgame. Vidit seized his opportunity 28.bxc4 dxc4 29.Qe4 Qd7 30.Ke2 Nd6 31.Qa8+ Kh7 32.Qxa5 Qe6 33.Qe5 Qg6 34.Kd1 Nc8 35.Qg3 and Black resigned, as the queen exchange cannot be avoided.
