The 2015 FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship started Tuesday at the Bolle Meierei in Berlin, Germany, with 184 world’s top players competing for the prestigious title and 200,000 USD prize fund.
After the first day and eleven rounds of play Maxime Vachier-Lagrave from France emerged sole leader with 9,5/11 points. He lost only to defending champion Magnus Carlsen and conceded one draw, to Teimour Radjabov.
Vachier-Lagrave said in the interview with FIDE Press Officer Goran Urosevic that his “first day in blitz was perfect”. He modestly added that “Magnus is still the favourite to win the Championship.”
Half a point behind the leader is Magnus Carlsen, who drew against Armenians Tigran Petrosian and Levon Aronian, and lost to World Cup winner Sergey Karjakin in the final game of the day.
Sergey Karjakin and Leinier Dominguez are on 8,5 points each.
