EICC Round 3 Results, Top Standings, Round 4 Pairings

As I had said before, I would have to keep the list of leaders short, as there are so many competing in this tournament. Posted will be Round 3 results of those that had 2 pts prior to the games, standings limited to the top results as of the day and round 4 pairings. My two favorites GM Dreev & GM Rauf Mamedov are at 2 pts at this moment.
