   The round isn't quite finished, but since I probably won't be around
   again today until late, here's a quick update.
   Decisive games:
   Onischuk - Shirov 0-1
   Alekseev - Fressinet 1-0
   Carlsen - Dominguez 1-0
   Akopian - Malakhov 1-0
   Players advancing to round 4:
   Cheparinov (defeated Mamedyarov)
   Adams (def. Zhou Jinchao)
   Kamsky (def. K. Georgiev)
   Jakovenko (def. Almasi)
   Wang Yue (def. Bu Xiangzhi)
   Shirov (def. Onischuk)
   Alekseev (def. Fressinet)
   Carlsen (def. Dominguez)
   Akopian (def. Malakhov)
   Ongoing games:
   Sasikiran - Macieja (looks like Sasikiran will win)
   Svidler - Rublevsky (seems Svidler's better, but it's messy)
   Bareev - Grischuk (Bareev's up a pawn in a queens + opposite colored
   bishop ending)
   Ponomariov - Tomashevsky (Ponomariov's up a pawn in a R & B vs. R & N
   ending; I expect he'll win)
