Hikaru Nakamura is a point ahead of everyone else after the first day of the blitz in the Open tournament. There are players in the Open tournament and 98 in the Women's section, totalling participants from more than 50 countries. American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura is alone in first place with 10 points after 12 rounds of the Open competition. With nine rounds completed in the women's competition, Polina Shuvalova and Valentina Gunina are sharing the lead with 7. The first round started with a delay after Magnus Carlsen was late due to a traffic jam on the way from his hotel. There was also an issue with some players — including world champion candidate Ian Nepomniachtchi — not following the FIDE dress code. Out of 21 rounds in the Open tournament, twelve took place on day one. Hikaru Nakamura — who didn't have a great experience with the Rapid Championship — got off to a fantastic start in the blitz with four victories.
