Hans, have a nice coffee/day.

Quebec Open Rd4 Results, Standings and the annotated games Boards 1-4
GM Bruzon is in clear first with 5/6. IMs Hambleton, Panjwani and Gerzhoy are in a group of 8 with 4.5/6. GM Sulskis won a marathon game in the only decisive game on the top 4 boards. There was plenty of action in Chirila-Gerzhoy with black on the attack in the Semi-Slav but the top two boards produced only quiet draws.
