Grand Prix - Round 10

Dominguez fell from 1st place after losing to Jobava. Meanwhile, Jakovenko defeated Karjakin, joining Nakamura and Caruana at the top. Jakovenko has been one of my favorite players for several years, starting when I noticed that he won several instructive games in the 6.Be2 Najdorf. The Russian GM has received little attention, perhaps since there are so many other top Russian GMs to keep track of. Grischuk, Kramnik, Karjakin, Svidler, Tomashevsky, Nepomniachtchi, and don't forget Andreikin (World Cup finalist, former participant in the Candidates Tournament) and Lysyj (the surprise Russian Champion).

Standings: Caruana, Nakamura, and Jakovenko - 6/10
                Dominguez, Gelfand - 5.5/10
