The Pashkov House, where Mikhail Tal Memorial is held reminds more a palace really.
Everything is ready to start the third round.
At that round Vladimir Kramnik against M. Carlsen had a winning and closing but all the "weight" balanced.
The game has not started yet, and cookware has got ready already.
Peter Svidler was talking at peace was not signed on the board.
Boris Gelfand can not find his game in this tournament. Here in the game with Sergey Karjakin he attacked recklessly, but not exactly and early in the Catalan, and the king it self, to no avail.
In the "Spanish-Berlin" endgame Aronian won the game with Vassily Ivanchuk.
The jury has quite a bit of work at the super-pros tournament.
Ian Nepomniachtchi applied innovation to the current World Champion Vishi Anand in Grunfeld Defence and
easily brought the game into "no man's haven".
World Champion Vishy Anand is clearly saves his forces. He will need them soon!
Convenient screens demonstrating chess battles and ... feelings of the participants, comments made by Grandmaster Emil Sutovsky, along with free admission and cheap buffet attract more chess connoisseurs!

Press-center is at work. The task of chess journalists is sometimes not easy. You need to maintain "a good face on a bad game".
Arkady Dvorkovich and Igor Levit are analysing the chess events of the fourth round.
With Master-expert on miniature games Anatoly Matsukevich (left) Arkady Dvorkovich has much to talk about.

In another city it is always a pleasure to meet a fellow countryman. On the left is an Honored builder, candidate master in chess, Vladimir Pshenichny.

He clearly equaled the game, "after spending" a novelty which he had stockpiled to the Candidates matches in Kazan.
Vladimir Barsky interviews Vladimir Kramnik.
Vlad Tkachev (France) and Vishi Anand (India).
Viktor Vasiliev has something to ask Vladimir Kramnik.
"Moscow draws strength," - says Vladimir Kramnik later in another environment.
Boris Gelfand in the game with Ian Nepomniachtchi was forced to defend, and coped with his problem!
Magnus Carlsen behind the "broad shoulders" of his father.
Frustrated with a draw in the game against Vassily Ivanchuk, Magnus refused some guys to sing his autograph, but his father did not allow spoiling opinion about his son in the eyes of the young admirers of his talent.
Magnus Carlsen was asked to say about the course of his game.
Maria Fominykh: "Have you questions?"
The equipment denied late on Sunday night, and the top screen did not reproduce that of what the young Norwegian grandmaster was talking.
It may be true, that Robert J Fisher soul lives in him as International Master Paul Bogumil (Moscow) believes on the grounds of his channeling?!
My camera reflects impartially fair fatigue on his face. To stay on the top of chess "rating Olympus" requires great strain from the young chessplayers.
