[lang_nl]Grote verrassingen in Khanty-Mansiysk: de twee hoogste geplaatste spelers die nog in het veld zaten, Peter Svidler en Levon Aronian, zijn zojuist beide uitgeschakeld in de rapidpartijen van de tiebreak. Een erg solide Dmitry Jakovenko bleek in deze vierde ronde van de World Cup te sterk voor Levon Aronian. Hij won de eerste rapidpartij met wit en hield daarna een toreneindspel met niet al te veel moeite remise met zwart. Svidler had tegen Kamsky zijn eerste partij remise gespeeld met zwart, en kreeg vervolgens een erg prettige stelling met wit. Na de ruil van enkele stukken blunderde hij opeens zijn opgerukte vrije d-pion weg bleek zijn d-pion opeens erg zwak en even later niet meer houden. Vanaf dat moment had Kamsky geen genade. Alekseev versloeg Bareev me 2-0 en zo waren er geen snelschaakpartijen nodig vandaag.[/lang_nl][lang_en]Major upsets in Khanty-Mansiysk: the two highest-seeds Peter Svidler and Levon Aronian have both just been eliminated in the rapids. A very solid Dmitry Jakovenko proved too strong for Levon Aronian in this 4th round tiebreak of the World Cup. He won the first rapid game with White, and held a rook ending with Black without much trouble. Svidler had drawn his first rapid game with Black, and got a very nice position with White. After some exchanges of pieces he suddenly blundered away his passed d-pawn his d-pawn suddenly turned out to be very weak and couldn’t be saved. From then Kamsky had no mercy. Alekseev beat Bareev 2-0 and so no blitz games were needed today.[/lang_en]

Twee hoogst geplaatste spelers in het veld? En Shirov dan?
What’s the average age of the quarter finalists? Seems like the youngsters are taking over. Even more when Shirov and Kamsky are the veterans in this field (they are not that old…)
Yes, it amazing… but it must be poetic justice that now, without Kramnik and Topalov, only the other ‘two greats’ of their generation, Shirov and Kamsky, are still in the race. Wouldn’t it be great to see another match between them, after the many junior matches they played in the late ’80s…

[lang_nl]Correct, foutje, Svidler heeft een iets lagere rating dan Shirov.[/lang_nl]
[lang_en]Correct, the first sentence is inaccurate; Shirov has a slightly higher rating than Svidler.[/lang_en]
