Three players still have a full house after three rounds at the GAMMA Reykjavik Open. It’s clear though that the accelerated pairings are already affecting the tournament a lot as that number is much smaller than in recent years.
Mustafa Yilmaz (2619) was the first player to get to 3 out of 3 when he defeated Eugene Perelshteyn in an interesting game that he commented on in the official broadcast. He was later followed by Suri Vaibhav from India and Elshan Moradiabadi from Iran. They defeated IM’s John Bartholomew and Alina l’Ami.
A big pack of players follows with 2.5 points, including most of the top seeds such as Rapport,
The top of the table will take further shape after the 4th round when we have some GM clashes.
Live Broadcasts are in the steady and experienced hands ofGM Simon Williams and WIM Fional Steil-Antoni
