The first round of the FIDE Candidates held in London last night ended in 4 draws in all boards. It looks like all 4 player play cautiosly and would like to start their campaign safely.
All the games start with queen pawn opening ( except Ivanchuk-Grischuk which start with 1.Nf3 but transpose to d4 set up later). I wonder what's wrong with 1.e4 which former World Champion and the late Bobby Fischer label as best by test!
