   Here are the results, with the players' scores going into the round
   given in parentheses:
   Kaidanov (2.0) - Kudrin (2.0) 1/2-1/2
   Onischuk (1.5) - Perelshteyn (1.5) 1-0
   Gulko (1.5) - Shulman (1.5) 0-1
   Becerra (1.5) - Yermolinsky (1.5) 1-0
   Ludwig (1.0) - Shabalov (1.0) 1/2-1/2
   Akobian (1.0) - Gurevich (1.0) 1-0
   Ivanov (1.0) - Friedel (1.0) 1/2-1/2
   Kraai (1.0) - Finegold (1.0) 1/2-1/2
   Fedorowicz (0.5) - Vigorito (1.0) 1-0
   Pruess (0.5) - Ippolito (0.5) 1-0
   Kaufman (0.0) - Langer (0.5) 1-0
   Shankland (0.0) - Galant (0.0) 1-0
   That means there's a four-way tie atop the leaderboard, which may or
   may not be resolved in tomorrow's action. The pairings are...
   Shulman (2.5) - Onischuk (2.5)
   Becerra (2.5) - Kaidanov (2.5)
   Kudrin (2.5) - Akobian (2.0)
   Shabalov (1.5) - Kraai (1.5)
   Yermolinsky (1.5) - Ivanov (1.5)
   Perelshteyn (1.5) - Fedorowicz (1.5)
   Friedel (1.5) - Gulko (1.5)
   Finegold (1.5) - Pruess (1.5)
   Vigorito (1.0) - Ludwig (1.5)
   Kaufman (1.0) - Gurevich (1.0)
   Shankland (1.0) - Ippolito (0.5)
   Langer (0.5) - Galant (0.0)
   The tournament site is [1]here, but if you're going to replay the
   games, you might want to wait. Maybe they've fixed it, but when I
   looked earlier there were quite a few errors, probably due to players
   misentering moves in their monroi devices.
