Round 1 games
Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi recited the theory of the Petrov Defense and signed a draw after 30 moves. The other French player, Alireza Firoujza, arrived crowned by his victories in the fast online cadences against Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. But classical cadence is another matter. He obtained a very good advantage in the opening against Fabiano Caruana but was unable to maintain it and after 2 big inaccuracies in the 18th and 20th move the game started to turn around. He later found himself in a losing endgame with Knight and Bishop which Caruana negotiated perfectly to win a full point with the black pieces.
The Indian Gukesh D played his first game in classical cadence since his victory in the last Candidates Tournament. He was opposed with the white pieces to the local Bogdan-Daniel Deac, the lowest Elo of the tournament. Against the Romanian’s Nimzovitch Defense, he didn’t really shine and after 23.Bxe4? he could have found himself in much more trouble. Finally the Romanian player suffered the new pace without adding time on the 40th move and negotiated the time crisis less well than the Indian player. Gukesh therefore wins the point.
The other 2 games were well controlled by their protagonists and the points were shared. Gukesh D and Fabiana Caruana are therefore in the lead after this round 1.
