The second round starts this morning. Anand (the front-runner in the odds) and Topalov (tied in Fide Rating and running second in the betting) both won their first games, Polgar (of the Polgar sisters of Hungary and first woman to compete for a world chess championship [for men]) and Leko (another top gunner who tried too hard to win as white) gave up the points respectively. Morozevich 1/2 - 1/2 Kasimdzhanov and Svidler 1/2 - 1/2 Adams to round out the field.
Thanks to the Chess Mind blog for all the links.
