Overall, round 1 of the Candidates in Toronto ended peacefully in the Open section, with four draws — although Nakamura had a somewhat lucky escape. The Women’s section was almost equally harmonious, apart from tournament favourite Lei Tingjie suffering a defeat at the hands of compatriot Tan Zhongyi.
