2009 Chess World Cup

Round 1 of the World Cup has been completed. Here are the results for the players I am following: GM Alexandra Kosteniuk (RUS 2517) - didn't make it into the next round. She lost both of her games playing GM Shakriyar Mamedyarov (AZE 2719). GM Hou Yifan (CHN 2588) and GM Arkadij Naiditsch (GER 2689) are going to play-off after drawing both Round 1 games. I understand that GM Judit Polgar's match didn't take place because the player did not make it (for whatever reason - I haven't checked to see what the latest news is on that). So JP goes through automatically to Round 2. American players: Tomashevsky, Evgeny (RUS 2708) 1.5 / Ivanov, Alexander (USA 2539) 0.5 Friedel, Joshua E (USA 2551) 0.0 / Wang, Hao (CHN 2708) 2.0 Jobava, Baadur (GEO 2696) 1.5 / Robson, Ray (USA 2567) 0.5 Hess, Robert L (USA 2572) 0.5 /Motylev, Alexander (RUS 2695) 1.5 Kamsky, Gata (USA 2695) 1.5 / Antonio, Rogelio Jr (PHI 2574) 0.5 Onischuk, Alexander (USA 2672) 1.5 / Flores, Diego (ARG 2602) 0.5 - Onischuk to R2 Smirin, Ilia (ISR 2662) 1.5 / Ehlvest, Jaan (USA 2606) 0.5 Shabalov, Alexander (USA 2606) 1.0 /Baklan, Vladimir (UKR 2655) 1.0 - going to play-off Savchenko, Boris (RUS 2644) 1.0 /Shulman, Yuri (USA 2623) 1.0 - going to play-off Akobian, Varuzhan (USA 2624) 1.0 /Tregubov, Pavel V.
