==Group stage==

The group stages featured a number of surprising upsets, with the top three seeds all struggling to remain in contention. Anand, the No. 1 seed, overcame an early loss to Krishnan Sasikaran with wins over Kasimdzhanov and Al-Modiahki to finish second in his group. Vassily Ivanchuk was less fortunate, dropping games to Malakhov and Macieja and finishing fifth in Group A.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.chessbase.com/post/indian-ladies-dazzle-in-hyderabad |title=CB News: Indian ladies dazzle in Hyderabad}}</ref> Morozevich never recovered after suffering a disastrous start with three straight losses to Ehlvest, Ganguly, and Harikrishna. He scored only one point in five matches, finishing second-to-last in the entire tournament and dropping below 2700 in Elo rating for the first time since 1998.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.2700chess.com/players/morozevich |title=2700.com - Morozevich, Alexander}}</ref>
