It's not as strong as the FIDE Grand Prix in Beijing was or Dortmund will be, but Biel's not bad. It's a six player double-round robin with four players rated over 2700 and the remaining two rated 2693 and 2699. Round 1 was Monday and all three games were drawn.

Round 2 pairings: Etienne Bacrot - Ding Liren, Richard Rapport - Alexander Moiseenko, Ian Nepomniachtchi - Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.
