Moulthun Ly Still Unbeaten

Queenslander Moulthun Ly is still unbeaten at the Hoogeven Open. Last night he drew his third round game against IM Anatoly Donchenko of Germany to set up a 4th round meeting with GM Peng Zhaoqin. The 3 other Australians won their games.

We should also mention the top section running in the Essent event - the Crown Group. Doggers Schaak made an interesting video of round 1. You can view that here.

Just back from losing to Kramnik, Bulgarian Veselin Topalov is off to a poor start by going down to Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, the 2005 World Junior champion.
