Levon Aronian is clearly on a streak, and despite his third round loss to Carlsen, he once again took sole lead after beating Vugar Gashimov. Radjabov joined Carlsen in second after beating Karjakin, while Nakamura benefited from a blunder from Gelfand to win a second straight. Giri ground down Kamsky in 80 moves, while in B, Harikrishna beat Timman in the game of the day.
