Partai Catur - Shakhriyar Mamedyarov vs Fabiano Caruana
World Cup (2015) Indian Game: West Indian Defense (E61) 1-0
Fabiano Caruana sebagai unggulan pertama ditaklukkan pecatur tuan rumah / Azerbaijan, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. Di partai catur ini, Mamedyarov lebih siap dengan pembukaan dan membuat Caruana harus bermain pasif karena tidak terlalu familiar dengan pembukaan ini. Di langkah 26, Caruana membuat kesalahan yang sulit diterima oleh seorang pecatur kelas top ten. Dengan menukar bidak di g, Caruana justru membuka semua jalur serangan Mamedyarov yang sudah berjejer perwira-perwiranya siap menggasaki raja hitam.
The other top seed eliminated is Wesley So. But he was defeated by worthy opponent, well, at least not so surprisingly. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave busted the ending where it was seemingly equal, but in round 4 game 2, Wesley So simply blunder that ending. Anish Giri as the #4 seed got more hassle to play against notable Anand's second, Radosław "Radek" Wojtaszek. They went into tie break, but Anish Giri won the rapid games 2-0 thus go to quarter final.
Eljanov defeated Jakovenko. Also in rapid games phase of tie break, but only in the second one he got the upper hand. Sergey Karjakin played with karma by eliminating hot dude Andreikin, who eliminated Karjakin two years ago. The score in rapid games between the two in tie break session is 1 1/2 - 1/2 in favor of Karjakin.
The big fight and show was on Ding Liren vs Wei Yi. As we remember, in the classical game both kungfu men exchange fist and kicks 1-1, defeating each other. Remember the crazy ending in the 2nd game :
Partai Catur : Wei Yi vs Ding Liren
World Cup (2015) · Spanish Game: Closed. Martinez Variation (C78) · 1-0
Ending partai catur Wei Yi vs Ding Liren yang seru. Di ending ini, kedua pemain masuk krisis waktu. Tapi Ding Liren yang posisinya lebih sulit dipikirkan dan dia pun gagal menemukan jawaban-jawaban tepat untuk ending ini.
With that win, Wei Yi and Ding Liren must spend one more day playing chess together in tie break round. Again their games are the most fascinating to watch, among others. In the two rapid games they trade draws. Next is two 10 minutes games, where the second one duly won by Wei Yi.

World Cup (2015) English, Symmetrical (A34) 0-1
Kemenangan Wei Yi atas Ding Liren dipuji banyak pengamat catur di Twitter. Banyak yang menyandingkan sepak terjangnya yang baru berumur enambelasan ini dengan Magnus Carlsen dan berspekulasi kalau Wei Yi yang kelak akan bisa mensaingi Carlsen.
The Quarter finals pairings then see eight match:
Pairing babak perempat final Piala Dunia Catur 2015 di Baku:
16 Russia Peter Svidler vs 24 China Wei Yi
The most experience vs the youngest player. Peter Svidler should extremely careful to not become sacrificial lamb and stepping stone to Wei Yi. Judging from playing style, where Svidler is from old Sovyet school with all his Gruenfeld expertise, Wei Yi will face more positional player than his other opponents. They are indeed had exchange blow each other just few months ago, in Russia vs China match. Peter Svidler won that game.

Cruising to quarter finals are two favorites from "Grand Chess Tour" members. Nothing much to added except looking at the stats between the two, which is extensively available. Their last meeting in Sinquefield Cup 2015 ended in draw. Thinking about this, Maxime got upper hand that he "only" need to play two very familiar opponents (vs Wesley So in round 4).

19 Azerbaijan Shakhriyar Mamedyarov vs 11 Russia Sergey Karjakin
Not too much gap between the two. Sergey Karjakin is doing fine recently. He is proving that he also belong to elite world. On Mamedyarov side, he is taking the most the home turf as his power, as Kramnik said. Both have many games history, over 46+ games with Mamedyarov looks like a trouble opponent for Karjakin.
