First round is now almost over, there is only one game left, as far as I can see on the live webcam from the playing hall. Big favorites Alexei Shirov and Kiril Georgiev pulled only draws against Natalia Zhukova and Watu Kobese (who recently had great result at Hastings Chess Congress, if I remember correctly). Other top guns, Vladimir Akopian, Nigel Short, Viktor Bologan, Mikhail Kobalia and Mikhail Gurevich won their first round games.
