Tata Steel Chess 1: Ding & Abdusattorov lead

World no. 2 Ding Liren was at his terrifying best as he beat Gukesh in Round 1 of the Tata Steel Masters. 18-year-old Nodirbek Abdusattorov scored the only other win, against Richard Rapport, while Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri and Vincent Keymer missed chances. That was nothing, however, compared to the misses in the Challengers, where Abhimanyu Mishra and Max Warmerdam took the early lead.
