It is well known that Alexander Morozevich is not too fond of modern Opening Theory. He likes to play unexplored positions and takes the first opportunity to play unusual moves.

His "novelty" on move 7 in his game against Ponomariov is unlikely to become a main line :) but this is definitely the most original game of the tournament so far. Watch white's Queen going to e5 on move 11, and then 12. g4!!.

Ponomariov was little more than a shadow in this game...
