4-0 for white.
Instead of T_K_A_G one should be prepared to K_R_A_M (Kamsky, Radjabov, Aronian, Mamedyarov play white), which indicates a high probability of the victory of K_R_A_M_NIK!
No!! These are the pairings for the first Round, not for the first game – and the first player to be named in each pairing is simply according to some kind of seeding. (Note that this information is dated 15 April!!)
