In Round 3, we witnessed three thrilling matches.

First, in the game between NM Altucher and NM Peatman, both players kept us guessing with their castling plans, eventually leading to an opposite-side castling position.

Next, in the encounter between FM Gulamali and FM Yanayt, Kazim once again unleashed 1.b3, but this time transitioned into a Queen's Pawn-type structure, steering the game in a new direction.

Finally, in the match between NM Vest and FM Andrews, Dave Vest introduced what he called the "snake oil" — a bold double exchange sacrifice — setting the stage for a sharp and exciting attack.
