Poikovsky, Round 3

   Today we had our second straight round artists-in-training round
   (everyone drew) at the 9th Karpov Poikovsky tournament, leaving the
   relative standings unchanged from [1]round 1. (Quick summary:
   Jakovenko, Rublevsky and Wang Hao won over Volokitin, Gashimov and
   Inarkiev, respectively; Sutovsky drew with Shirov, Bologan with
   Onischuk.) One of today's games (Sutovsky-Gashimov) was drawn quickly,
   but the other four games had some life to them. So despite the high
   drawing percentage so far (80%!), the games really haven't been so bad
   - [2]see for yourself.
