Vincent Keymer had a rough start at the Prague Chess Festival, losing with back to Jorden van Foreest. After a botched opening, he missed a hidden counterblow that could have turned the game around. This game was only one of many interesting battles at the opening round in the Prague Masters, as all five games featured hard-fought struggles. Four games ended decisively, with only world champion Gukesh Dommaraju and Hans Niemann signing a draw. That draw, however, was the longest game of the round. | Photo: Petr Vrabec / Prague Chess Festival
