After all the drama on Day 2, there was still a chess tournament to run on Day 3. Players turned up, played another 4 games and Volodar Murzin won the Open, with Humpy Koneru winning the Women's. Once people got back to watching the chess, there were a number of exciting games on the third day, including a wild last round game been Neimann and Nakamura (which was won by Neimann). Tomorrow is a rest day, with the Blitz starting on the 30th (New York time). In a change from last year, there will be a thirteen round blitz on day 1, with the top 8 players qualifying for a KO final on day 2.
