2013 Candidates: Round 2 Photo Report

Rather than expend a lot of words, I thought I would kick off today with some photos of the action...

Magnus has White today against Vlad Kramnik so we can expect a protracted battle - can't we?

Pleasant smile for me from Boris...

... but Levon should not expect such a friendly reception.

Vassily Ivanchuk shields his face, while Teimour Radjabov carefully arranges the pieces.

Peter Svidler plays another Russian, this time Alexander Grischuk

Arbiter Werner Stuebenvoll goes from board to board, starting clocks.

Magnus Carlsen starts building a torture chamber for Vlad Kramnik (he hopes)

Another shot from the gallery of the lecture theatre.

A few more photos soon...
