Norway is letting Magnus rest again, even though that didn't bring success in the first round. I predict they will win 3-1 anyway.
Interesting Scandinavian derby in the match Sweden - Denmark. Sweden looks stronger, but Denmark has done well this far.
I'm surprised Mags sat again just because of the reason you mentioned. I'm sure he's watching the game closely. I thought that being the world's #1 he would've played at least some back to back rounds. He's a chess machine, I don't think he would be weakened by doing so. I don't know, I'm just a patzer LOL
UPDATE:
We have our first update of the day as Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France(White) has just defeated Boris Gelfand of Israel(Black) in one of the biggest games of the day in one of the biggest matches of the day. Is the French Revolution beginning?
Here is the move list:
1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 e6 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bh4 dxc4 7. e4 g5 8. Bg3 b5 9. Be2 Bb7 10. h4 g4 11. Ne5 Rg8 12. Bxg4 Nbd7 13. Nxd7 Qxd7 14. Bf3 b4 15. Na4 c5 16. Nxc5 Bxc5 17. dxc5 Nxe4 18.

Ok everyone. Looks like Round 3 is going to be coming to a close within the next hour or so. I'm going to hold off on updates so I don't drive myself nuts, or you for that matter, so I'm going to wait until the final results are posted then I will do my seperate "Results" thread as soon as I get them available.
LOL if you haven't noticed, I'll be doing this for the entire Olympiad, so...I hope it doesn't bother anyone to see this everyday.

Hey, I appreciate the effort!
rooperi - thanks for the feedback. I wanted to know from people if they want me to keep doing this or is it a nuisance. I'm enjoying it, although it is pretty hard to do, plus getting up at 4 AM EST to get ready for it is not easy. Thanks for the positive note.
