I really enjoy the first round, the best victory of the day for me was Nordirbek Yakubboev over David Anton with a great exchange sacrifice but the most amazing game was the only draw of the day thanks to the Hans Sacrifices and the Gukesh great defence. I going to analyze this tournament every day so follow me if you want to watch more incredible games, by by.
