Round 3 on the second day has come to an end with the battle for the 2015 Maryland Sweet 16 looming in Round 4. On the top two boards of the undefeated players, Sahil Sinha drew with Alexander Davydov while Arthur Tang defeated Andrew Mao. This sets up the title match with Sinha (Black) playing Tang (White essentially with draw odds for at least a share of the title). Davydov can enter a tie for first if he wins and Tang does not win.
