Another good result for Ravi Haria, this time a draw with black against the 2629 rated GM Dragan Solak.

Round 10 draw is up.
http://chess-results.com/tnr295754.aspx ... S&flag=304

Wojtaszek-Korobov and Jones-Matlakov all on 7/9 half a point ahead of a big group.

Mamedov-McShane on board 4.
Haria v Oparin (both on 50%) and Fernandez v FM Torosyan (both of 4).

Ireland scored 0.5/2 again; this time it was the girl's turn to get a result.

Luke is three pawns up today for no obvious compensation.

Gawain has drawn to leave him 1st= with six other players on 7.5/10, albeit another two could join them.

Looks like Ravi Haria could be on for a big win today.

Luke's gone from three pawns up for less than nothing to two pawns up in return for some pressure.
