8. Kelires (2216) – GM Filippov (2615) 1/2-1/2
A hard earned draw that saw Kelires with an advantage only to have it slip away. This game is from the top board of the Cyprus – Uzbekistan match.
7. CM Gaealafshwe (2222) – GM Banikas (2644) 1/2-1/2
One of two upsets that are part of the Botswana – Greece match. Greece managed to win the other two games but the efforts of the players from Botswana was quite impressive.
