Kg2 ½ : ½. “It was a very important game for qualification”, Grandmaster Romain Édouard said. “A direct clash with a complicated theoretical Caro-Kann (with a quick Pawns advance to g4 and h4). At a some point White seemed to stand very well, but Tigran has beared the brunt of it. Eventually the position was equal”.
