This year’s edition will be played in the Magna Auditorium and Conference Hall "Virgil Madgearu" of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies – a partner of the Kings Tournament. The rounds will start every day from the 7th until the 17th October at 3:30 p.m. (last round starts at 1:30 p.m) and entrance will be free for spectators.
Round 3
Wang Hao was definitely surprised by Nisipeanu's opening, and he stood no chance in the endgame as he was down material and his time management was not good
Caruana still leads the tournament as he is the only player at +1
Ponomariov suffered a little today, but at the end he was able to obtain a draw
