Ivanchuk showed immense respect to Carlsen on Board 1 by playing a very safe line in the Ruy Lopez which led to a fairly lifeless draw on move 33. They currently share the lead at 1.5/2 points each. The Board 2 match-up between Radjabov and Karjakin was equally boring, but at least the players fought it out. White attempted to grind down a B vs N middle/endgame until the 90th move, where it was painstakingly obvious that a draw was to be made.

Nakamura was completely lucky.
