GM Eugene Torre seemingly unstoppable form was finally checked yesterday when he lost to third seed GM MCHEDLISHVILI Mikheil (picture below).

Even with the loss, Eugene’s previous momentum let’s him share top spot with Zhang Zhong.

Today is the last round and it’s going to be pretty interesting to see what will happen.
