In round 1 the young guys had White, but were unable to prove any superiority. The Rising Stars' top seed, Hikaru Nakamura, did manage to beat the Experience team's lowest board, but with difficulty. Three games were drawn, and in the fifth game the Experience #1, Boris Gelfand, defeated the Rising Stars' least-"risen" teammate to equalize the match.
