Sinquefield Round 2 : Caruana & Aronian winners of the day.

Don't worry... It will be an easy draw with black

Caruana 1-0 MVL
MVL has been quite unlucky by falling into a great preparation from Caruana. This one prepared this line few months ago for Mamedyarov. Bad luck for Maxime.

Aronian 1-0 Topalov
Aronian choose a complicate line with an exchange sacrifice. Topalov strangely choose to castle under fire and then quickly collapse... A very bad start of tournament for the bulgarian player.

Nakamura ½-½ Carlsen
Carlsen unusual - as usual - opening leaded to a tense middle game, where black, by giving a pawn, had some initiative. The world champion choose a perpetual line to get a quit easy draw. Now Carlsen will have white two times in a row.
