After 2 rounds of the Masters event of the Chess.com Isle of Man Open 20 players, including Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Pavel Eljanov, etc., have a perfect score. For many top seeds the second round wasn’t a pleasure cruise. Thus, Fabiano Caruana, Viswanathan Anand, David Howell (played with Nino Batsiashvili), Emil Sutovsky, Peter Leko and many others didn’t manage to outplay their lower-rated opponents.
The Russian Alexandra Kosteniuk has scored 1.5 points. Vladimir Kramnik, Alexander Riazantsev and Pavel Tregubov have got 1 point each.
