One sensation for the first round of the so-called unpredictable World Cup is not much, you must admit. The favorites of the tournament were winning differently: in a beautiful and elegant way, in a positional fight and showing class. But what was the most important in general – without big problems. Concerning Sergey Movsesian, he perhaps was not just lucky in the pairings. Among many low rated opponents, Yu Yangyi had a potential which occurred to be much higher than his position in the rating list. Sergey, by the way, confirmed this fact after the match as well.
It is amazing how many young chess players have come to Khanty Mansiysk. The Russian Sanan Syugirov, the American Ray Robson and Robert Hess, So Wesley from the Philippines, Indian Negy Parimarjan, Italian Fabiano Caruano, Chinese Hou Yifan. They all are about 15-17 years old. They all have good perspectives. No doubt sooner or later some of them will ask the stars of today to make space for them at the top of a chess Olimpus. It seems that FIDE policy on chess popularization in the planet brings its positive results. This can only makes us happy.
