One semi-final is finished, while the other proceeds to tiebreaks tomorrow. The game between Radoslaw Wojtaszek and Ian Nepomniachtchi was a 22-move dud, deferring the real battle to the rapid (and potentially blitz) games tomorrow. Alexander Grischuk, by contrast, played for keeps against Hikaru Nakamura, and won a very impressive game to advance to the final. The games are here, with notes based on, but not limited to, those given by Grischuk himself in post-game interviews.
