An inauspicious start for the oldsters: Rising Stars 3, Experience 2
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1187803451.shtml


   In this Scheveningen-style event, all the older players will face all
   the younger players twice (once with each color), and it's set up so
   that every round every player on a team will have the same color. This
   round the Experience side had White on every board, but despite this
   managed just four draws (and they had to work for at least one of
   them) and a loss.
   Round 1 Results:
   Jussupow - Cheparinov 1/2-1/2
   Khalifman - Stellwagen 1/2-1/2
   Beliavsky - Negi 1/2-1/2
   Nikolic - Smeets 0-1
   Ljubojevic - Karjakin 1/2-1/2
   Let's be hopeful: the Experience side just needed to warm up a little!
   The games can be found on the [1]site (click on the "Games" tab once
