FIDE World Cup 1.1: The battle begins

Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana and other top seeds begin the World Cup from Thursday’s Round 2, but before that the event will already be over for 117 players. Nine players failed to make it to Round 1, but over 200 were in action on Monday, including the youngest ever grandmaster, Abhimanyu Mishra, who put up a great fight before losing to Baadur Jobava. The favourites dominated, but English IM Ravi Haria beat Russian GM Vadim Zvjaginsev, while ex-Women’s World Champion Anna Ushenina fell to Egypt’s Ayah Moaataz. We also saw one game for the ages.
