152 Moves

     Here it is- the morning before the 3rd round.
     I managed to win yesterday and I'm playing against Pap Gyula today- a Hungarian GM.
     It was a very  interesting round yesterday- the encounter on the 1st board between Merab Gagunashvili and Evgeny Tomashevsky  lasted for more than 6 hours and 152 moves, but Tomashevsky didn't manage to convert his pawn up and the game ended in a draw.
