(RdV) – Ronde 4: de eerste grootmeester (van de 3-op-een-rij); resultaat: remise.
Van de toernooi-site:
15:20 – “The top encounter between Robby Kevlishvili and Ivan Sokolov sees the Scotch opening. Robby went for the fashionable 7.Bb5 and now seems to have an edge both on the board and on the clock. It will be very interesting to see whether the young man from Zoetermeer will be able to increase the pressure against the top grandmaster.”
17:22 – “Robby Kevlishvili couldn’t find a convincing plan for White:

Here he felt obliged to sacrifice a pawn with 26.e6, but never got enough compensation. Now Ivan Sokolov can keep pushing in the endgame forever.”
18:00 – “Robby Kevlishvili managed to save half a point.”
