The First FIDE Grand Prix is taking place from September 21 to October 3rd in Simpson’s-in-the-Strand, London. The games start at 14:00h local time (= 15:00h CEST, 17:00h Moscow, 09:00 a.m. New York). The tournament has a prize fund of 240,000 Euros.
The games for the most part continue to be very exciting. Leko shows Hungarian precision and positional mastery, while Nakamura punishes his opponent with sheer willpower and tenacity. Gelfand and Giri were easily neutralized by Topalov and Wang Hao respectively, and although Dominguez also drew against Grischuk it would be a stretch to say that he did it easily.

Hikaru Nakamura: "You win, you lose. Life."
Kasimdzhanov - Nakamura: In a strange Kings Indian, the game was probably level all the way throughout. Eventually, in time pressure, Kasimdzhanov made a mistake that allowed the American to seize the initiative in what otherwise seemed a mindless endgame. With his king on the ropes and playing on the few seconds he had left, Kasim blundered checkmate in two. You just can’t get in time pressure against Hikaru. Nakamura wins.
Gelfand - Topalov: Nothing to see here. Draw
Another example of Leko's mastery
Leko - Ivanchuk: After Ivanchuk seemingly transposes into an equal endgame, he commits a series of imprecisions that allow Leko to put on pressure. A blunder soon follows, the Hungarian pounces, and it is all over. The French defense suffers another defeat. Leko wins.
Giri - Wang Hao: Not as dull as the Gelfand game, but it comes close. Draw.
So far the Cuban player has done very well
