Asia Continental Chess Championship - Round One

Wesley So, as expected, beats Gundavaa Bayarsaikhan (2461) of Mongolia although I personally beleive that Wesley So was quite "stunned" by Gundavaa's solid opening preparation. Wesley plays the Slav opening, favorite of top GMs these days. Wesley was never in danger though, once they reached the middle game. The ending saw Wesley, playing black, with a queen and four pawns against Gundavaa's queen and two pawns. It was an entertaining one. Mark that there are some upsets. Pinoy IM and GM candidate Julio Catalino Sadorra beats Kazakhstan no. 1 rank player, GM Kazhgaleyev Murtas. GM Hou Yifan, who lately opts to play in the open section (formerly known as Men's Division) lost to her compatriot and untitled player, Wan Yunguo. This is the boys play ground, after all.
