Peter Svidler seems to be in a hurry to reach back to where he really belongs. He's started with 3/3 in the gruellingly tough event, even beating World No. 2 Morozevich with black on the way.
Key Moments of the game Morozevich vs Svidler 0-1
Svidler played a precise game right from the opening against a surprisingly subdued Morozevich.
__________________________________________
34. Re1 was a mistake, e3 was more sound.
39. Qg4 was another. The simple line 39. f6 Re1 40 Qg4 g6 should have been considered.
By move 43, Svidler was winning and Morozevich played an aimless 44. Qc7 when 44. Qxh6 would have given some him some chance to create confusion.
As it usually happens, Svidler gave a chance by making a mistake on move 52 with Rae1. Morozevich played on and simplified to a Rook vs Rook and pawn ending but it was not enough as the Rook and the King were well placed to nurse the pawn to the 8th rank. Morozevich gave up before this could happen.
