Isle of Man update
After four rounds of the Isle of Man International Masters tournament, Alan Merry is on 2½ points, having scored 1½/3 against GMs. Tomorrow he faces yet another GM, Mihail Marin, who beat Adam Taylor in Round 2.
Both Adam and Ed Player are on one point.
Although there are 130+ entrants, there is only one player, GM Alexei Shiorov, on maxcimum four points. He will be taking a bye tomorrow, so there is likely to be a bunch of players on 4½/5.
