Briefly:
The Karpov tournament in Poikovsky again saw three wins, but this flurry of excitement is somewhat counterbalanced by the 15- and 17-move draws in the Jakovenko-Riazantsev and Naiditsch-Motylev games, (dis-)respectively. Bologan beat Jobava, Vitiugov beat Rublevsky (and very quickly) and Sutovsky won with Black against Sokolov.
Thus Jakovenko, with 6/9, maintains his half-point lead over Karjakin with two rounds to go; Bologan, Riazantsev, Vitiugov and Sutovsky are a further half a point behind.
At the Capablanca Memorial in Havana, Cuba, there were again two draws complemented by an Ivanchuk win, this time over Alekseev. Go Chuky!
