Hi everybody,
The news from the Reykjavik Chess Festival is that two players are leading with a perfect score after four rounds. These are Greek Grandmaster Stelios Halkias and American Grandmaster Robert l. Hess. Fourteen players - including top seed British Grandmaster Luke McShane - are just a shade behind at 3.5 points. Among the women players, WGM Anna Sharevich is doing pretty well with a score of 3.5 which includes a nice win over last year's Reykjavik Open winner, Icelandic GM Hannes Stefansson (2557). Here are the standings after four rounds:

the PGN source is broken, try this link instead:

the correct PGN data should be like this:
[Event "MP Reykjavik Open"]
[Site "Reykjavik ISL"]
[Date "10.03.2011"]
[Round "2"]
[White "Sharevich,Anna"]
[Black "Stefansson,Hannes"]
[Result "1-0"]
