London Chess Classic round 2

There was a change to the commentators today. Instead of just two there were four being rotated as the day progressed. IM Lawrence Trent was paired up with GM Stephen Gordon. GM Daniel King was paired up with one of my favourite GM's Chris Ward. What made the day even better for me was GM Luke McShane's choice of opening. He decided to choose the Sicilian Dragon variation which he won in the end against GM Nigel Short. GM Magnus Carlsen managed to recover from yesterday's surprise defeat by beating GM Michael Adams in the English opening.  GM Hikaru Nakamura impressively managed to defeat GM Vladimir Kramnik in his game. GM Viswanathan Anand managed only a draw against GM David Howell. This round has been just as interesting as the first. Lets hope the next round continues the trend.

Vladimir Kramnik	0-1	Hikaru Nakamura
David Howell	½-½	Vishy Anand
Magnus Carlsen	1-0	Michael Adams
Nigel Short	0-1	Luke McShane
