After two rounds there is a five-way tie for first place at the FIDE Grand Prix in Thessaloniki. On Thursday Alexander Morozevich defeated Peter Svider, who missed a tactic in a complicated, Spanish Four Knights middlegame. Fabiano Caruana defeated Vassily Ivanchuk in classical positional style, using a nice exchange sacrifice. After 6.5 hours of play Hikaru Nakamura suffered his second loss in a row to Alexander Grischuk in a bishop ending.
