After three rounds of the US Senior Open, GMs Sergey Kudrin, Alexander Ivanov and IMs Emory Tate and Joseph Bradford lead with perfect 3-0 scores. GM Larry Kaufman, who is reporting for Chess Life Online, was nicked for a draw by Mariano Acosta and stands on 2.5/3. Tonight should be interesting, with the perfect scores facing off, Ivanov and Bradford on board one and Tate vs. Kudrin on board two. The latter game should be particularly interesting, since Tate playing White, is a legendary attacker and Kudrin is a Dragon devotee. Catch selected live games on Monroi.com.
