Tal Memorial, Round 1: 5 Draws
But very good draws! Carlsen-Kramnik in particular was a thriller, but Morozevich-Leko had its high points, and none of the other games could be described as dull. If the play continues in this vein, we could be in for a special event.

Round 1 Results:
Carlsen - Kramnik 1/2-1/2
Morozevich - Leko 1/2-1/2
Ivanchuk - Anand 1/2-1/2
Gelfand - Ponomariov 1/2-1/2
Aronian - Svidler 1/2-1/2

Round 2 Pairings:
Kramnik-Anand
Carlsen- Morozevich
Svidler-Ivanchuk
Ponomariov-Aronian
Leko-Gelfand

Reports on the first round are available here, here and here. For this round, I'll only present the games, without notes - here.
