The Daily Update: Mostly draws at the Karen Asrian Memorial

   It's a rest day at the Aerosvit tournament, and since the players
   doubled up the last two days at the [1]Karen Asrian Memorial (to make
   up for the two day postponement), the schedule is back on track and a
   single double-round was played. Six of the eight games were drawn, the
   two exceptions being Adams' win against Gelfand in their first game
   (with White) and Morozevich's win over Akopian in their second game
   (characteristically, with Black).
   Standings after 12 of 14 rounds (or 6 of 7 double-rounds):
   1. Leko 7.5
   2. Aronian 7
   3. Sargissian 6.5
   4-5. Bu Xiangzhi, Morozevich 6
   6-7. Adams, Gelfand 5.5
   8. Akopian 4
