In the top encounter of round three Fabiano Caruana played with Black against Wesley So but had no trouble at all. Soon after the opening he seized the initiative and could hope that his passed b-pawn would give him winning chances. But So defended tenaciously and after 92 moves the game ended in a draw.

In round two Alexander Onischuk suffered a bitter defeat against Ray Robson but in round three he showed his resilience by coming back with a fine win against Aleksandr Lenderman. After an apparently harmless opening Onischuk did not take long to show entertaining and courageous chess that he crowned with spectacular tactics and good endgame technique.

In the women's tournament 12-year Carissa Yip was close to losing against Tatev Abrahamyan but managed to hold. After three rounds she now has 2.5/3 and shares the lead with Abrahamyan and Nazi Paikidze.

However, the most dramatic eoncounter was perhaps the game of Alisa Melekhina against Irina Krush. Melekhina, who now works as a lawyer and thus has very little time for chess, convincingly outplayed full-time professional Irina Krush but just before the time-control failed to seal the deal and failed to win a clearly position.
