Kamsky and Karjakin have spent about 1,5 hour per first 15 moves, each. It seems that Kamsky has extra pawn already. In top GM level its very good result for Queens pawn opening (1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.c3)after first 15 moves. (Especially if we remember Kamsky`s bad result against Gelfand in their 2007 Candidates Match).
In group C after 11 rounds the leader is 15 years old Filipino chess prodigy Wesley So (15 years old) with 8 points. Main runner up is Tiger Hillarp Persson with 7,5 points.

The games start at 3:30am my time tomorrow. That's 12:30pm in the Netherlands. I'm setting the alarm.
