Games of the top 3 boards can be watched here. Ohmygoddess - Lenderman has 2 rooks, a knight, a bishop and his queen all bunched together in one corner of the board - looks like he can't bust them out.! Hmmm...(currently on move 18).
Update 12:28 p.m. Milwaukee time (1 hour behind Montreal time): Qin Zi Yi (2176) with white seems to be causing some problems for GM Alex Lenderman. On Move 39 now - Queens are off the board, just went through a bloody swap of pieces. Lenderman has six pawns though he is down a bishop, are Qin's three pawns plus bishop adequate compensation for him? Lenderman's king looks much better defended to my inexperienced eyes. He seems to be taking his time before making a push with some of his 'extra' pawns...
Update 12:41 p.m. Milwaukee time (1 hour behind Montreal time): Lenderman has simplified the game down to his six pawns and a knight v. Qin Zi Yi's now two pawns, a knight and a bishop. Things do not look promising for Qin.
