Daily Update: Sarajevo and the Tournament of Draws
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1211770234.shtml


   Today in [1]Sarajevo, there were again two draws and a win, but the
   win was a nice one. Morozevich took over clear first, defeating
   Movsesian with a speculative but very dangerous knight sacrifice.
   (Games and crosstable [2]here.)
   Meanwhile, in the [3]Tournament of Draws*, Portisch unsportingly
   defeated Murariu, but the remaining players took up the slack:
   Timman-Short, drawn in 33 moves.
   Vaganian-Beliavsky, drawn in 24.
   Andersson-Suba, drawn in 20.
   Khalifman-A. Sokolov, drawn in 14.
   * Also known as "The King's Tournament"
