Every game has been hard fought in this round. Hernandez, Perelsteyn and Hera all won with the White pieces. Irina is the only one to win with Black.
Kamil Miton’s flight from Poland was cancelled. So he had to re-route his entire flight schedule to make it here by tomorrow night. His games will be made up later.

Gilberto and Imre rock!
Anyone knows who the chick in the background is? Her number and first name alone would be sufficient.
Go, Irina. 🙂
Is there some special non-FIDE rule that participants can turn up late and not forfeit their games?
Which flight was that – that was cancelled?
Monroi site not working for me: it demands Flash when I have Flash installed.
Why do not you pay to ICC $60 to follow live games, or to Chessbase $300 for PGN files? How would those two company employees feed their families, if Monroi starts sending PGNs directly to your home address. Terrible conspiracy of chess companieas.
Those slaves better work for me all day long, spend their money and time on PGNs that I need, and give me everything for free. Otherwise I will start charging them for viewing games at their site and I will also make them pay for providing me services and new technolgy.
whos that sexy girl in the back.
Paul, the point is that it is very common for organizers of chess tournaments to make pgn’s readily available for convenient downloading by fans after the event is over. Tournament websites do this regularly, and Chessbase too is fantastic at providing free, easy access to tournament pgn’s during and after events. When you have the data already, this is very easy to do and generates tremendous goodwill and loyal customers. This is a simple thing that MonRoi could do that would help their own company and help chess promotion.
