The ACP Golden Chess Classic started with three decisive games but no adjournments in the first round on 14th July 2012. Gata Kamsky seemed to catch out Le Quang Liem out in the opening and was already winning by move 22 and he finished things quickly. Vassily Ivanchuk won as white against Baadur Jobava in a King's Indian where all the minor pieces came off but Ivanchuk won the heavy piece ending extremely quickly. Anna Muzychuk outplayed Krishnan Sasikiran almost straight out of the opening as black and then finished things crisply for the surprise result of the day. Emil Sutovsky sat out day 1 of the 7 player event.
