There are several sites associated with the tourney - one for press, a
main site, and also an announcement of live games. Small Warning - I
got Chinese pop-ups from the press site. Try this one:

seems indifferent to one's attention! Good luck.
I think this is a very high category tourney, 19 ??

And here's the game score - is that 13 a TN ?

Top seed Veselin Topalov beat Peter Svidler in an Exchange Gr=FCnfeld
after a novelty on move 13. With that the Bulgarian GM joins Levon
Aronian and Bu Xiangzhi in the lead at the Pearl Spring Chess
Tournament in Nanjing, China. All three have 3.0/5 points. Ivanchuk-
Movsesian and Aronian-Bu were both drawn.

The Score so far
White 1
Black 2
Draw 9
of 12 games played.
The last 6 games played have all been draws. I don't think I have seen
such a high draw-rate before. This is not to say that the quality of
chess is boring, but that there seems to be a dissincentive to win.
