And Nakamura was crushing Kramnik before drawing. It is chess afterall. It is not a point until you bring it home.

Kramnik was absolutely crushing Aronian before losing. I'm not so sure how well Aronian is actually playing.

Aronian appears to be having a fine tournament. If he keeps this up, he might be challenging Carlsen for the top spot on the ratings list.

The Tal Memorial is off with a bang. Quite a few interesting and decisive games in the first round.
