Rapport-Sindarov
White the white pieces in the Anti-Moscow Gambit, Rapport sacrificed a pawn early on, and soon got a dangerous initiative. However, he did not manage to find any decisive continuation, and after move 40, it was Sindarov, if any, that had a slight advantage. Things just led to a number of exchanges, and when the board was almost cleared, the agreed on a draw.
Ivanchuk-Erdogmus
As white in the English Opening, Ivanchuk got some pressure, but initially, Erdogmus defended himself well. However, as they approached 40 moves, Ivanchuk got the upper hand, and he managed to march his a-pawn forward. Eventually, he ended things with the elegant 44.Rb7!
Robson-Tan
As white in the Italian opening against Tan, Robson played 5.Bg5. His surprise move did not give him much of an advantage and Tan equalized without much effort. The balance was never really disturbed, and after 47 moves, they agreed on a draw in a totally equal rook endgame.
L’Ami-Grandelius
Gradelius made a surprise choice, when he chose the Queen’s Indian Defense against l’Ami. L’Ami in turn played the surprising 5.Qb3, and a couple of moves later, he traded queens on d5. White got some slight pressure that grew a bit and finally, Grandelius was really under pressure. However, he got a chance in time-trouble, when he could have played 31…Nb5, but when he missed this, he ended up in a bad rook endgame that l’Ami did not have any problems winning.
