Out of opening
The round just started and we see some interesting theoretical battles. In Svidler-Topalov the latter repeated the line Anand lost against Kasim. The endgame favours White. Two bishops are stronger than rook and two pawns.

Anand-Leko
Anand has so many tricky move orders in this line and it seems that he has a decent advantage after opening.
Polgar-Moro
No theory and typical Moro chess.
Adams-Kasim
Typical Adams not pretending for opening advantage and very slow play in poker terms.
