The favourite Vishy Anand is ahead in both Rapid and Blindfold Tournaments.
Here are the standings after round three in the combined rating
(Blindfold+Rapid):
1. Anand, Viswanathan 6.0
2. Svidler, Peter 4.0
Ivanchuk, Vassily
Kramnik, Vladimir
Leko, Peter
6. Morozevich, Alexander 3.5
7. Bareev, Evgeny 2.5
Gelfand, Boris
9. Vallejo, Francisco 2.0
10. Van Wely, Loek 1.5
11. Shirov, Alexei 1
Topalov, Veselin
It is a surprise Topalov´s performance to the present, but it is Rapid
Chess and almost all can happen. As usual, Morozevich is playing
unorthodox Chess, Anand said: If it is theory, I´m not going to buy the
book Morozevich is using.
