Deconstructing the Chaos: Saleh Salem and Volodar Murzin's Error-Ridden Battle in Biel


In today's first round of classical chess, the Masters group saw all games end in draws.

The results were:
* GM Fedoseev, Vladimir ½-½ GM Aravindh, Chithambaram
* GM Wojtaszek, Radoslaw ½-½ GM Svane, Frederik
* GM Salem, A.R. Saleh ½-½ GM Murzin, Volodar

Despite all games being drawn, the play was quite engaging. We especially want to highlight the thrilling game between Salem and Murzin, which featured plenty of action and we'll be posting on our website.


In the diagrammed position, Black played 15. ...e5? If White had now played 16.Nc5!, the game could have ended in their victory.
