9 leading EICC men section

Mamedov, Berg, and Grigoriants with better tiebreak

It is difficult to draw conclusions and make predictions only after 3 rounds of the European Individual Chess Championship in a field with 100+ GMs. After round 3 nine chess players are with full 3,0/3 and 35 more are just half a point behind. It is a wide open competition where anything may happen. The top three positions are held by GM Mamedov, GM Berg, and GM Grigoriants with better tiebreak than the top seeded GM Movsesian, GM Pantsulaia, GM Werle, IM Szabo, GM Zelcic, GM Kurnosov, and GM Sutovsky. Close behind them, with a half point bye from round 1, is GM Vallejo.

The only IM with full points, IM Szabo, won his game against one of the top German players at the competition - GM Gustafsson. GM Nyback also played a nice game and held GM Akopian to a draw. IM Marie Sebag, the only women player competing in the men section, could not continue her winning streak and lost to GM Berg.
