Game 1 of Round 2: Gukesh and some other top players -> Draw

FIDE: " Game 2 of Round 2 begins on November 5 at 3 PM local time.
The action can be followed live on the FIDE YouTube Channel "

Spoiler

More importantly. Will need updates about Krixes vs. Rocky.
Hope Krixes has been studying/practicing.




Noticed 3-way odds were reasonably "good" for Gukesh (vs. Nogerbek), as it would require him to win without any tie-breaking.
Another Draw in Game 2 on Wednesday would obviously mean tie-breaking is needed.

I'm gonna get smoked but it's all good...
