Eljanov 2739 - Hou Yifan 2666
That's a repeat of Sharjah (GP1) which also had Mickey white in round 1; hopefully he'll win again, and have another good tournamentLawrenceCooper wrote:23 England Michael Adams GM 2736 0 96 United Arab Emirates Salem A.R. Saleh GM 2638 0
Results -LawrenceCooper wrote:A convincing win for Adams in round 1. Giri lost with white to Radjabov and there have been draws in the Gelfand-Mamedyarov and Svidler-Jakovenko games.
Eljanov did indeed win and Inarkiev drew, no opposite coloured bishops though, they were exchanged soon after the time control. Li Chau & Harikrishna pressing in the remaining two games.John McKenna wrote:Eljanov - a pawn up in K &P ending - should win against Hou.
Inarkiev - a pawn up in R & B of opposite colours ending - may not have enough to defeat Grischuk.
Aronian probably won't get anything more than a draw against Li.
Riazantsev-Harikrishna is anyone's guess.
