I am really impressed with the contingent of American players. Although GM Ray Robson is out, he didn't go without a fight!

Already after R1 32 players were deleted! Now 32 remain, and many more will be eliminated without further ado after Game 2 tomorrow. How far can Kamsky go? How far will Shankland go? Bet he's got his own all-female fan club :)
In the 2009 World Cup, Boris Gelfand knocked Judit Polgar out in the Third Round, and Gata Kamsky was knocked out also in Round 3 by Wesley So.
Today's Hottie is GM Sam Shankland, the undisputed star of this photo - nice shirt and tie, too :)
