On the top table, American Grand Master Gareyev Timur who is also the top seeded player of the event won against David Alberto in an amazing match of just 37 moves. The match was played in closed Ruy Lopez and Timur slowly built an attack on the White’s kingside by giving timely pawn breaks. David had to resign on move 37.
