Thursday, December 7, 2017 at 5:36PM
In the British Knockout Championship, Luke McShane took game 3 with Black to equal the scores: he and David Howell have 1.5 points apiece heading into the final classical game. (That will be followed by four rapid games, with the classical games counting double.)
Meanwhile, in the Russian Championship Vladimir Fedoseev was finally stopped. Ernesto Inarkiev held him to a draw, but Fedoseev is still in clear first with 4.5/5. With a win Daniil Dubov could have caught him, but he lost to Evgeny Tomashevsky and is now a full point behind the leader. Nikita Vitiugov, who drew; and Peter Svidler, who won, are a further half a point back with three points each.
