Bansko Open Round One

Bansko Grand Chess Open 2010 started on Monday with 114 participants linning the tables at the City Culture Center. Top seeded player is GM Ivan Cheparinov, heading the list of ten participating Grandmasters. The round one pairings brought the usual clashes between favourites and lower rated players, but the rating differences proved too big and there were no upsets.

The tournament continues on Tuesday with a double round, the first one starting at 10:00 local time. There will be some interesting games, as the top rated Grandmasters already match up against FIDE Masters.
