After 2 rounds result is even 5-5 where all games were won with black pieces. I am quite happy to see legendary Ljubomir Ljubojevic (dac1990: Question: How do you pronounce his name? Knezh: "Luh-boe-yevitch" is the correct pronunciation at least...) holding even against Carlsen and Karjakin. Last serious tournament for Ljubojevic was Chess Olympiad 2002, where he played extremely well beating Radjabov and Krasenkow among others. After that, he played only Melodi Amber 2003 and couple of games in Dutch Team competitions.
