Round 1: Topalov, Grischuk and Karjakin win |
The first round of the fifth stage of FIDE Grand Prix tournament in Beijing got under way on 4th of July, after FIDE Vice President Mr Chu Bo made the first symbolic move 1.d4 in the game Gelfand-Topalov. Mrs Chen Zelan, Vice President of World Xiangqi Federation, Vice President of Board Games & Cards Administrative Center of General Sport Administration of China “helped” Veselin Topalov by playing 1…Nf6.
Topalov, Karjakin and Grischuk, all playing with black, started with victories, while the other three games were drawn. Vasiliy Ivanchuk and Wang Hao were first to finish their game after 3 hours of play. The excitement started before the first time control as in four out five games one or both players were in dangerous time trouble. In mutual time-trouble Gata Kamsky even lost on time against Alexander Grischuk, while Shakhriyar Mamedyarov came close to do the same.
