Anand and Carlsen are leading after the first day. Tomorrow another 3 rounds are scheduled, with reversed colours.

The classification didn't change.

Anand and Carlsen qualify for tomorrow's final. Morozevich and Polgar will play for 3rd place.



By the way: At the same time there is a large rapid open tournament (11 rounds swiss) going on with a strong field (Movsesian, Eljanov, Nakamura, Najer, Kasimdzhanov, etc.). After 5 rounds there are 9 players still with a perfect score. Standings

2. Magnus Carlsen
3. Alexander Morozevich
4. Judit Polgar
