Hard to keep up with the World Championship in Moscow (let alone the U.S. Championship in St. Louis) with so much going on in Chicago!
The score after three games is 1½-1½: Gelfand has White in Game 4 (Tuesday, 6 a.m. Chicago time).

Caïssa giveth and Caïssa taketh away....
...is a fancy way of saying that chess luck tends to even out. Dana Mackenzie demonstrates the wins he missed against Gavin McClanahan and me.
