Tashir Tigran Petrosian Memorial - Round 1

Gelfand held a draw against Aronian without many problems. Meanwhile, Grischuk boosted his chances by defeating Inarkiev. Morozevich employed the Sicilian O'Kelly variation against Leko and drew. Liren - Kramnik also ended in a draw.

The tournament is an eight-player round robin, starring Aronian and Grischuk. Gelfand fared poorly in the last Grand Prix tournament; we will see if he can regain his form. Kramnik is another player to watch. A year or two ago, he tied for first in the Candidates Tournament with Carlsen and won the World Cup. Since then, his performance has dropped, and now he is no longer in the top 10. Can he come back?
