   Ok. Here are the 2nd Round games for the Bilbao Grand Slam Final Masters event going on in Spain. All games are not analyzed and pulled directly from playchess.com PGNs through my Firtz 12 program as the games were finishing up. Enjoy.

in the kramnik game, 22...Rb8 is met by Ba3 so it still wins the exchange.  That's a pretty nice tactic to be able to see that far.
