Round 2

Round 2 has started. The first two boards of the live games in the website have started.

Zhang-Wang
A Sicilian Rossilimo. White plays Bb5 focusing on development and the forming of the pawn center duo, d4 and e4, by playing c3. Yuekai has played the system with Qc7 and Nf6 which is usually used if Nc3 and Bb5 is played so that Nd4 Nxd4 cxd4 hits the knight. White now has formed a pawn duo but is struck back with d5. Yuekai played the Nfd7 which seems inferior. I have double check since usually, Ne4 is played. f3 is impossible right now because of the rook at e1 and knight. White has a cramping pawn on e5 should be thinking of kingside attack with Bd3-b1, Qd3, etc.

Kalaydina-Virji
A Giuoco Pianissmo. The game has just started and it is not all that clear. Both sides have their chances.

I'll get back later. I have to go somewhere. Sorry guys! Check the blog later for further updates.
