The top favourites got off to a good start in Prague and after two rounds Safarli, Sethuraman and 47 other players are leading the field with 2.0/2 .
In round 2 Safarli scored a nice win in the Grünfeld.
However, it is the Botez sisters and Dina Belenkaya who receive the most attention during the tournament. Regardless of where they stand in the tournament, the three streamers always play on the same three boards, with their games recorded by a camera placed next to the board. The games are then streamed live on Twitch and shown to the online community. Norwegian grandmaster Jon-Ludvig Hammer comments the games of Alexandra and Andrea, while American grandmaster Ben Finegold follows the games by Belenkaya.
Alexandra Botez, whose Elo rating of 1977 is just above the tournament average of 1975, started the tournament with a loss and a draw, as did her sister Andrea, who has an Elo rating of 1708.
Alexandra Botez at the start of her game in round two. She has White against Romi Milner from the US.
Dina Belenkaya, a WGM with an Elo rating of 2164, won against German Vito Gierhardt in round one and lost to Brazilian GM Evandro Amorim Barbosa in round two.
After round 1, Belenkaya commented on her win against Gerhardt in the tournament hall on a "real" - and not a digital - board.
The third round of the Open begins on Friday, 1 March at 3 pm.
