Every day at the 51st International Dortmund Chess Days, a game of the day will be chosen. From the submissions of the first day, the jury led by GM Artur Jussupow, IM Jonathan Carlstedt and IM Patrick Zelbel selected the winning game by Rustam Yangibayev.

The first day of the 51st International Dortmund Chess Days started on Saturday with the first round of the B-Open and A-Open. For the most part, the favourites prevailed, but there were also some initial surprises.

Chief arbiter Frank Jäger announced the first round of the B-Open of the Sparkassen Chess Trophy punctually at 10.30 am. With 191 players, the tournament started virtually full.
