Sparkassen Chess Meeting Round 3 and Biel Round 2

All the games in Dortmund were drawn, so there was not much change in the forecast.

The players in the ACP Classic got a rest day, so we turn our attention to Biel. Harikrishna won after Giri blundered in a difficult position. Vachier-Lagrave never got anything going against Motylev and the other game was also a draw. The pre-tournament favorites aren't doing very well so far: Giri is on 0/2 and Vachier-Lagrave has obtained nothing from the opening in both of his games. But it is still very early in the tournament, so much could change in the remaining rounds.
