Chess Classic Ordix Open – Lunchbreak

14.08.2005 - After seven rounds in the Ordix Open, it looked like Levon Aronian was heading for his first Ordix title. The winner of the FiNet Open won spectacular games in the morning against Radjabov and Naiditsch. However, in the last round before the lunchbreak, he had to play against Alexander Morozevich, which he lost. The Russian grandmaster is now leading the field with 7,5 points, followed by five players with 7 points: Alexey Dreev, who mated Alexander Grischuk in round eight, Levon Aronian, Teimur Radjabov, Michal Krasenkov, and Penteala Harikrishna. 52 grandmasters are playing in the Open and we have 139 players with an international FIDE title, so you can see many interesting games, not only at the top boards. The most interesting position of the day so far could be seen on the board of Jörg Hickl and Ivan Sokolov, when no less than 5 Queens stood on the board. Hickl, a Queen down, won the game in the end!
