Prague: Sharp chess, three winners

An extremely entertaining first round in the Masters section of the Prague Chess Festival saw Le Quang Liem, David Navara and Pentala Harikrishna scoring the first victories of the event to grab an early lead. Coincidentally, three players also won their first games in the Challengers. All six full points were collected by the player marshalling the white pieces. | Photo: Petr Vrabec
