FIDE World Cup 4.3: 18-year-old Ivic knocks out Andreikin

We’re down to the Last 16 of the FIDE World Cup, with just three matches as seeded: Carlsen-Esipenko, Grischuk-Duda and MVL-Karjakin. Vidit is the other player seeded to the Last 16 to make it and will face Vasif Durarbayli, who overcame Nodirbek Abdusattorov. The one major surprise of the tiebreaks was 18-year-old Velimir Ivic knocking out Dmitry Andreikin, while Magnus Carlsen, Sergey Karjakin and Peter Svidler put on impressive shows. In the women’s section three of the four quarterfinals starting Sunday are exactly as seeded, while Kosteniuk-Gunina is a surprise only on paper.
