Good result for Adam Hunt. Hope he can do some damage with White in round 2.

Very nice endgame by Gawain today, 3/3 and ahead of Caruana...

Re: European Individual 19th March - 1st April 2012
Caruana is the rating favourite, and still handily placed (on 2.5/3) for such a long tournament (11 rounds), but yeah, some of those on 3/3 must be pleased to avoid him for a bit longer. I see Howell lost today, though not looked at the game yet. That puts Howell on the same score as Ledger and the second seed, Mamedyarov, who is unbeaten, but three draws is a shocking start for him. Jones facing Boris Savchenko Boris (2580) in round 4.

Gawain is pressing to win again today - I'm not sure what his live rating is running at but I would guess it's above his previous highest. Perhaps 2660+ (including Iceland)?

He's certainly playing well and had an amazing year but I think the points he's losing in the Bundesliga will neutralise what he gained in Iceland but he's certainly gaining in the 4NCL and here so he's probably high 2640s.Thomas Rendle wrote:Gawain is pressing to win again today - I'm not sure what his live rating is running at but I would guess it's above his previous highest.
