World Cup 2007 round 1, game 2 results
World Cup 2007 takes place in Khanty-Mansiysk (Russia), November 22 - December 18, 2007.
After round 1 the software for live games was changed. At least for me, the new software (or may be connection problems) generated some funny games and move orders like 1-2 times repetition and absolutely "stupid" moves. In addition the official site is not well updated, sections are empty or links are broken (at least in English version). I found a photo gallery from round 1:
