Corus Chess Day 3

Day three was a dull affair at Corus with all the games in the A Group ending in draws.

The most exciting news was provided by the 13 year old Hou Yifan who beat Short in a very short game. Short opened up his king side with a g5 thrust and tried to pin Yifan's knight against her queen but she found the correct way to bust Short's position and won in just 23 moves.

Adams - Carlsen - Same color bishop ending where Adams had doubled pawns on the b file, but it doesn't count for much. So Draw

Polgar - Topalov was an opposite color bishop ending with an extra pawn but going nowhere. Draw.

Eljanov - Anand was a Nimzo Indian Classical that proceeded on known lines and ended in a very quick draw
