Levon Aronian, Hikaru Nakamura, Leinier Dominguez and Andrey Esipenko win important games in the fight for semi-final spots in round 5 of the Berlin FIDE Grand Prix.

Joint leaders of Pool B, Radosław Wojtaszek and Vladimir Fedoseev, made a draw.

Wojtaszek about the possible three-way tie with Rapport: "It's very unclear but I think interesting for everyone to see."

Vladimir Fedoseev: "Better to readdress this question to my wife"

Levon Aronian inflicts a third loss in a row on Vincent Keymer, in a very complicated game full of tactics from both sides, and almost secures his spot in the semi-finals.

Levon Aronian won Pool C with a round to spare, taking an unsurmountable 1.5-point lead: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/fide-grand-prix-2022-leg-1-all-groups/5/1/5

Levon Aronian: "It's a risky line for Black but we're not here to play boring chess."
"I think Vincent was having a lot of fun as well. His play was very daring and full of desire to win the game. Otherwise, I wouldn't get a chance to win against such a strong opponent."
