Many Sicilians and three decisions: Morelia/Linares has had a promising start. Anand defeated Shirov with Black in a Najdorf, Topalov beat Aronian in a Nimzo-Indian, Leko won as well, against Radjabov who tried a Sveshnikov, and Carlsen-Ivanchuk was a draw (a quiet Najdorf). Now with comments, in new format!

Round 1

Alexei Shirov - Viswanatan Anand 0-1 Magnus Carlsen - Vassily Ivanchuk ½-½ Peter Leko - Teimour Radjabov 1-0 Veselin Topalov - Levon Aronian 1-0


Here are the games with comments. The format is new: now you can scroll and so it's easier than before to follow the annotations together with the board.
