Svidler,P - Leko,P ½ - ½
Gelfand,B - Grischuk,A ½ - ½
Aronian,L - Anand, V 0 - 1
Kramnik,V - Morozevich,A 1 - 0
In the second round, exciting battles started. World Champion Kramnik won against Morozevich after an exciting and unexpectedly sharp struggle in Catalan. Anand, a former FIDE world champion, and one of the main contenders of the title, won against Aronian with black in a breath taking battle. Gelfand-Grischuk was a draw but it was after a positional fight. Svidler was also close to winning against Leko in Marshall and his choice might initiate a new fashion in the Marshall Attack.
