Poikovsky, Round 4
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1215811692.shtml


   The hard-fought games that have been typical of this tournament
   finally resulted in a couple more wins. Gashimov defeated Onischuk and
   Volokitin beat Inarkiev, in both cases in sharp games that finally
   resolved in the endgame. The other three games (Shirov-Wang Hao,
   Rublevsky-Bologan and Sutovsky-Jakovenko) were drawn, but in each game
   one side was pressing for a long time.
   I'll try to present some of the more interesting games from this event
   soon; for now, you can replay them on the [1]TWIC site (the tournament
   website may still be infected, so until I get consistent reports that
   it's safe I'm not going to give the link or recommend people check it
   out).
   Standings after Round 4:
   1-3. Jakovenko, Rublevsky, Wang Hao 2.5
   4-8. Shirov, Sutovsky, Bologan, Volokitin, Gashimov 2
   9. Onischuk 1.5
   10. Inarkiev 1
