Radjabov with first win, Bu sinking deeper
Derby match between Ivanchuk and Topalov ended in fighting draw
Teimour Radjabov scored his first victory at the 2008 Mtel Masters by beating already downhearted Bu Xiangzhi. The pawn structure was reminiscent of yesterday's Bu-Cheparinov and Radjabov seized strong initiative after a series of energetic moves (25. Rf7, 26. Bf6!). Bu tried to build a fortress in the endgame, but white's precise maneuvering soon brought him into another zugzwang.
