After the drama at the round 1 tiebreaks and there were surprising results yesterday where there were 4 wins for white, 2 for black, and many many draws.

As Peter Rajcsanyi mentioned on the official website, "For the 2nd round, the players turned to be more cautious and thus we got more draws than victories."
