Radjabov-Adams game one was more eventful. Radjabov went for the Catalan Opening and Adams introduced a new idea in the position shown with 9. ... Nb6 10. Qe2 Na5 to hold on to his extra c-pawn (in the past, 9. ... Nxc3 10. bxc3 b5 had been played). Radjabov was unable to do much with any compensation he may have had, and eventually Adams was left a clean pawn up. He successfully converted this into a win to go 1-0 up. In game two, Adams played the Rossolimo to Radjabov's Sicilian Defence (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5). Neither player obtained a significant advantage and a draw was agreed after White's 17th move.
