Karjakin won in the fourth round against Aronian. As mention earlier in another blog post, Aronian had before this game won against Karjakin 6 times against 1 and 13 draws.
Today Karjakin played the black pieces. 4 points out of 4 is a good summary after four rounds, but as mentioned earlier, he has yet to play the biggest names in the tournament. Today he won against one of the biggest names. Let see how he plays against Magnus Carlsen tomorrow!
Carlsen has yet to win in Norway chess tournament. 4 draws in 4 rounds isn't good enough if he wants to be in the top after the tournament. Today he got a draw against Svidler. Now Carlsen has some pressure on him to win in the next round.
Hammer got his first draw today, after three rounds of losing. Topalov had a big advantage after 35 moves, but blundered a little bit and only got a draw against Hammer.
Anand lost against Nakamura.
