Re: Montreal - Pere Noel - some games

why is GM Kovalyov on bd 4? did he drop a fullpoint or just a halff, Hugh? Should make the probable showdown w/ Sambuev very climactic.

[Hugh Brodie]

Re: Montreal - Pere Noel - some games

Kovalyov drew in round 2 (I think). We will know later when the crosstables are posted and/or I get my hands on the games from rounds1 and 2.
