The first game of the day to finish, Grischuk-Topalov, was a Najdorf. Grischuk had a chance to get a slightly better game by interposing a subtle Rhe1 at some point which would have given him the same position that he got in the game but with a full extra tempo. Unfortunately, he missed his chance and the resulting endgame was a dead draw.
