Classical Games
Round One
GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR,2872) 1-0 GM Boris Gelfand (ISR,2777)
GM Levon Aronian (ARM,2825) 1-0 GM Viswanathan Anand (IND,2773)
GM Hikaru Nakamura (USA,2789) ½-½ GM Fabiano Caruana (ITA,2782)
The Zurich Chess Challenge 2014 is the strongest tournament in chess history - at a massive 2801 rating average (means the first Category 23 tournament) ... In this tournament Anand is the player with lowest rating ... The points from classical and rapid tournaments r to determine the winner of the event ... Here every win in Classical game will give player 2 points and draw will give a single point but in Rapid winner receive single point and half point for draw ... Yesterday a blitz used to determine the colors and pairings for classical game ... In that Anand won two, lost two and drew one ... He lost against current top 2 players, i.e. Carlsen and Aronian ... He won against Caruana and Gelfand, and managed draw against Nakamura.
In classical games, WR #1 Carlsen and WR #2 Aronian started with convincing win ... Aronian pressured Anand until the Indian made mistake and needlessly sacrificed a piece ... Aronian won after 73 moves ... Other hand Carlsen started with dominating win after 37 moves ... So setback for Anand as he is already 2 points behind from leaders in this short tournament.
