Mammadyarov successfully performs at London Grand Prix

Azerbaijani grand master Shahriyar Mammadyarov was the only winner on day three of the 2012 FIDE London Grand Prix. Mammadyarov destroyed Anish Giri in just 21 moves to join the leaders Peter Leko and Boris Gelfand on a score of 2 points out of 3.

Top seed Hikaru Nakamura was the last to finish, but was unable to defeat Peter Leko with the white pieces after missing a win in a rook ending.

The Azerbaijani grand master will next face Alexander Grishuk in the round 4.
