FIDE World Cup 5.1: Martirosyan & Kosteniuk strike

Haik Martirosyan beat Amin Tabatabaei while Alexandra Kosteniuk took down Valentina Gunina in the only decisive games in a quiet start to Round 5 of the FIDE World Cup. Magnus Carlsen found himself under pressure despite having the white pieces against 19-year-old Andrey Esipenko, but the most dramatic game of the round was Vidit-Durarbayli, where Vidit missed a fleeting chance in a wild position before Vasif Durarbayli seized complete control only to allow his opponent a great escape.
