Svidler, Aronian shocked

Peter Svidler of Russia and Levon Aronian of Armenia were shocked by Gata Kamsky and Dmitry Jakovenko respectively in the World Cup Chess tournament being held at Khanty Mansiysk.

Svidler - Kamsky drew their first rapid game. In the second rapid game, Svidler lost from a plus position.
Jakovenko played accurately to outplay Aronian.
Alekseev completely outclassed Bareev in both the rapid games to advance to the quarter-finals.

A lot of goodies not even counting the huge prize money awaits the quarter-finalists. It is said that the top four may be invited to the premier Grand Slams of chess.
