World Rapid Championship, Day 1: Favorites Stumble

by Johannes Fischer
12/26/2016 – The World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Doha, Qatar, are a prestigious event and attracted players such as Magnus Carlsen, Sergey Karjakin, Hikaru Nakamura, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Vishy Anand and many more. However, on day one Carlsen, Karjakin & Co. had trouble to find their rhythm and after the first of three days and the first five of 15 rounds it is Anton Korobov who leads with 5.0/5.

The Rapid World Championship is a 15 rounds Swiss event with a time-control 15 minutes+ 10 seconds additional time per move, starting from move 1. The event will be played on three days with five rounds each day. The total prize fund is 200,000 USD of which the winner will receive 40,000 USD.

The spacious playing hall

The Rapid and Blitz World Championships take place from 25th to 30th December in Doha, Qatar, and the Rapid World Championship is the first tournament Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin play after their World Championship match in New York in November.

After defending his title with difficulty, Carlsen, who had won the Rapid World Championship 2015 in Berlin, will probably try to show why he is the number one in the world - and according to the current rapid ratings he is indeed favorite to win the tournament.

But after this slow start the World Champion recovered and won in round three to five to finish day one with 3.5/5.

Magnus Carlsen vs Surya Ganguly

Sergey Karjakin fared worse: after pushing too hard against Nils Grandelius in round one he began the tournament with a loss. After wins in rounds two and three he lost again in round four and in round five once again had to show his amazing defensive skills to draw the game and to finish day one with 2.5/5.

No hard feelings - Sergey Karjakin and Nils Grandelius

It was Anton Korobov from Ukraine who had the best start into the tournament. Korobov, the number 21 seed, won all his games on day one and now leads the tournament with 5.0/5. Half a point behind follows Levon Aronian who just conceded a draw.

In round four Korobov played with Black against Alexander Grischuk and showed aggressive play and a keen tactical eye.
