U open konkurenciji, Fabiano Caruana se oporavio od jučerašnjeg poraza od Andyja Woodwarda i danas zabilježio pobjedu, pa se pridružio Andyju Woodwardu, Wesleyju Sou i Awonderu Liangu na diobi prvog mjesta. Awonder je takođe ostvario veliku pobjedu protiv Levona Aroniana!
U ženskoj konkurenciji, poredak na vrhu se promijenio nakon što je Rachael Li pobijedila Alice Lee. Rachael se tako pridružila Alice Lee i Thaliji Cervantes, pa sada tri šahistkinje dijele prvo mjesto!
S obzirom na to koliko je poredak izjednačen, sutrašnje kolo obećava još uzbudljivih partija!
