#agadmator The 2013 Candidates Tournament got underway in London today, not exactly with a bang, but at least a certain spark – although that might have been the server for the official website going up in smoke! Such an occurance is depressingly predictable in the opening round of major chess events, but at least the website got back on-line eventually. Hopefully, there will be no more problems during the rest of the competition!
The pairings for the opening round gave Lev Aronian white against Magnus Carlsen, so fireworks were expected immediately. In the event, Aronian could make no impression on Carlsen’s choice of the Bogo-Indian and the game was drawn after 31 moves in a perfectly symmetrical position. A good start for Carlsen, holding one of his nearest rivals to a draw with ease.
