GM Jakovenko does nothing special and wins with ease.

More About Greece
Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil and gas are believed trapped under the seabed around Greece – enough to wipe out the country’s debt for good. But can they get to it? And who else is looking to get their hands on the energy bonanza? Some experts say the recent discoveries of oil and gas in the Aegean Sea could turn the entire region into the ‘New Gulf’. But where there is oil, there is usually some sort of conflict.

GM Rapport played original defence with 3.Nc3 d5!? in a Pirc but soon had a bad, then lost position. However, normal chess rules do not apply to Rapport and he won the game in the ending after some hesitant play from GM Kotronias.

Jakovljevic tried the Anti-Meran Gambit(or Botvinnik Variation) against the Semi-Slav but was repelled by some tough defence. Banusz chose the less common but playable 12…Qc7 and repelled the attempted attack with ruthless efficiency.
