In the first round, two of the favourites, Silla Bosch Serinsys and Andreu Paterna, clashed but the match ended with a 3-3 draw. Anton Korobov won for Silla against Jorden van Foreest but Daniil Yuffa equalized against Alvar Alonso for Paterna.
Duochess Beniajan, the team with the best rating-average, started the tournament with a 4½-1½ win against Collado Villalba. But David Navara, with a current rating of 2719 top board of Beniajan, lost against the Spanish Grandmaster Renier Vazquez (Elo 2551). The Czech Grandmaster started a bold attack on the kingside but then found no way to crash through.
27.hxg3 Ng5 Better was 27...d4!? with the idea 28.exd4 Ng5.
28.f4 Nh3+ Navara goes for broke but this is too bold. Objectively better was 28...Ne4 29.Rxd5 Qf6 though White still has the advantage.
29.Kg2 Nxf4+ 30.exf4 Bxf4 31.Rxd5 Qe4+ 32.Nf3 Bxc1 33.Rh5+ Also good was 33.Qxc1 Rg7 (33...Qxd5 34.Qh6#) 34.Re5.
33...Kg7 33...Bh6 34.Rxh6+ Kg7 35.Rh4 was a bit better.
34.Qxc1 Threatening mate. White's counterattack decides the game.
34...Qe6 35.Re5 Qh6 36.Ne3 Kh8 37.Qc3 f6 38.Re4 Qg6 39.Rh4+ Kg7 40.Rg4 1–0
