1) From St Louis
Final Rd pairings of "significance" for tomorrow
http://saintlouischessclub.org/2011-us-championship-information
A
Kamsky (4.5) - Shulman (4)
Robson (3) - Ivanov (3.5)
B
Hess (5) - Seirawan (3)
Onischuk (3.5) - Shankland (3.5)
Women's
Baginskaite (4) - Krush (5)
Zatonskih (3) - Foisor (4)
Zenyuk (1.5) - Abrahamyan (4)
2) In San Sebastian Kevin had an interesting draw today, in an English that I'm told was the same line as Seirawan's game yesterday. In any event after some middlegame manouvering, a draw ensued. Fritz and I were watching the game and Fritz noticed an earlier Nxf7 sac that may or may not have "worked". I'm sure Kevin will comment on this in his blog tomorrow. Victor drew again today as well. In any event the two leaders drew, so the top rated paired remain 1/2 pt off of the pace, with 4. Leon won today to move to 3.5.

3) Mexico is still working on getting their web site caught up to the tournament, as the pairings were just put up in the last hour or so. Mark and Anton should both have "easy" games tonight. Two games tomorrow. We'll see if they can keep up with two rounds per day. I guess live games are out of the question :-)
