   I mentioned this strong but hardly covered [1]event in an earlier
   [2]post; now, a brief update and a game. After 6 rounds (of 9) there's
   a three-way tie atop the leaderboard:
   1-3. Avrukh, Postny, Smirin 4
   4-5. Gyimesi, Roiz 3.5
   6. Moiseenko 3
   7-8. Khenkin, Rodshtein 2.5
   9. Macieja 2
   10. Kogan 1
   Among Smirin's achievements so far, one caught my eye, and you can
   replay it [3]here.
