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.

Carlsen - Kramnik 1/2-1/2
Morozevich - Leko 1/2-1/2
