The biggest surprise of the day was Kirill Alekseenko (Russia) beating the higher-rated Pentala Harikrishna (India).

Alexander Grischuk (Russia) defeated Xu Xiangyu (China)

A beautiful tactic from Alexander Grischuk: 37...Bxe5!, with the point that 38.Qxd8 fails because of 38...Bf6+, followed by another check with the rook and the queen is lost.

In the clash of two Russian grandmasters, Nikita Vitiugov broke through the defense of Sergey Karjakin.

If Vitiugov wins this match, he will at least repeat his best result at the World Cups so far, as he got to Round 4 in 2009.

Women's world champion Ju Wenjun is proving her class and title at #WomenGrandPrixFIDE in Skolkovo!

In round 6 she wins yet again, against Alina Kashlinskaya,
masterfully using the Russian's careless c2 pawn capture in the opening, and becomes the sole leader with 4,5/6.
