Commentary: Round 3

[ ]

Go to: Before the Tournament, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Round 5, Round 6, Round 7, Round 8, Round 9.

This is the last round of initially fixed pairings in both divisions; players will be paired in Round 4 based on their performance in the first two rounds.

Leslie Charles (TTO) leads the pack at his first appearance at this event; I asked him earlier why it had taken him so long to come here. He explained that, until recently, it had been almost impossible to get a Maltese visa in Trinidad, due to a lack of diplomatic representation.
