Friendly gestures before the start of the
game between Wesley So and Sergey Karjakin
Fully focused: Hikaru Nakamura
For a long time it seemed as if Hikaru Nakamura was cursed when playing against Magnus Carlsen. No matter how good the American stood in some games, before Bilbao he had never managed to beat Carlsen in classical chess.
But Bilbao is not the first tournament in which
Carlsen started badly - and often he has won in the end.

Anish Giri played with White against Wei Yi and thanks to the bishops pair he had a slight endgame advantage. However, against Wei Yi's tenacious defense he failed to convert this advantage into a full point.
