So far Xu Xiangyu (2576) is the only player rated lower than top-100 who advanced to Round 3 of the #FIDEWorldCup.
The Chinese grandmaster eliminated Bu Xiangzhi and Ernesto Inarkiev. His success can be repeated by Safarli and Yuffa in case they win tomorrow's tiebreaks.

Ju Wenjun defeated Marie Sebag in the 4th round of #WomenGrandPrixFIDE in Skolkovo and joined Valentina Gunina (who made a draw with Pia Cramling) in the lead with 3/4.

Can you find the elegant blow underlining White's enormous positional advantage?
