Men. Round 1.
Friday, 09 December 2011
We would say that there were no great sensations during this round. Anish Giri from Netherlands made a draw with some difficulty against first seed Ukrainian GM Vassily Ivanchuk, but 17 years old-Giri had already proved his top class during the last 2 years. karjakin.jpg

Leinier Dominguez from Cuba beat  third-seeded Vugar Gashimov from Azerbajdzan. Ok, Leinier was a blitz World champion so he is feeling comfortable playing against any of the world's strongest players.

And we now have some more fantastic games coming up in the second round.

Mamedyarov-Karyakin, Wang Hao – Ponomariov, Kamsky-Grischuk. Do you like it?
