First Games of Aeroflot Open 2020 Played in Moscow
Most of the rating favourites won their games.
The first round of the 18th chess festival Aeroflot Open 2020 was played in Moscow on February 19. The majority of the rating favourites achieved victories, but, as usually, there were some less expected results as well.
Thus, Rinat Jumabayev (Kazakhstan) lost to the 14-year-old Javokhir Sindarov (Uzbekistan) on the 8th board. The games Sivuk - Sargissian, Chanda - Sjugirov, Rakhmanov - Moroni, Riazantsev - Iljushenok and some others were drawn.
