Melody Amber 2009 Results Round 2

Going into round 3 of the Amber tournament, GM Kramnik is leading the blindfold section with 2 wins out of 2 games, but it's the combined score that counts. With GM's Aronian and Morozevich winning both of their rapid games and 1 blindfold game, they are in lead of the tournament with 3 total points, with GM's Anand and Kramnik hot on their tails with 2.5 points. I missed the games due to an interface problem where I couldn't see the moves made. But it seems to be working again, I don't know what the bug is, but it affects both ChessPartner 5.4 & 6. But at times, I restart the program, and it works fine again. Strange.
