Today at the European Individual Chess Championships

   After today, we're down to one remaining round at the [1]European
   Championships, but for many of the top boards the event already seems
   to have ended. Of the four boards featuring players tied for first
   place, all the games were drawn and only one made it past move 12. It
   wasn't too much different in the next score group, but Kryvoruchko
   quick win over Smirin brought him into a tie for first, while
   Caruana's loss to Bologan (who was in the third score group) saw the
   players switch places. So with one round to go, we have an eight-way
   tie for first: Movsesian, Volkov, Sutovsky, Baklan, L'Ami, Tiviakov,
   Tregubov and Kryvoruchko.
   As for the FIDE Grand Prix, the players are enjoying their second and
   final rest day.
