1. Bilbao. It's early yet (then again, it's only a six-round tournament, so two rounds in isn't that early) Michael Adams is building on his success in Dortmund. He defeated Maxime Vachier-Lagrave today to take the lead with 1.5/2; Levon Aronian and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, who drew their game, are half a point behind.
2. Kings Tournament. First-round winner and sole leader Fabiano Caruana had the bye today, while the round 2 games Ruslan Ponomariov - Liviu-Dieter Nispieanu and Wang Hao - Teimour Radjabov were drawn. Caruana, Ponomariov and Radjabov lead, but Caruana has an extra game to play.
3. Russian Championship. Peter Svidler and Nikita Vitiugov entered round 4 tied for first, but now Svidler leads alone. He defeated Dmitry Andreikin, while Vitiugov only drew with Anton Shomoev. Vladimir Kramnik bounced back from yesterday's loss to defeat tailender Aleksey Goganov to stay within a point of first, tied with Ernesto Inarkiev for third.
