Chinedu Okwelogu (NGA) begins the afternoon 15-4 +970, Theresa Brousson (MLT) 14-5 +1698, Mikki Nicholson (Eng) 13-6 +1122 and Dan Sandu (ROM) +157 (!). On 12-7 are Helen Gipson (Sco), David Delicata (MLT) and Pramit Kamath (IND); behind them five players on 11-8.

Chinedu plays Pramit in the annotated game at Board 1. Theresa plays David at Board 2, Mikki and Dan play two of the 11-8s, Eileen Meghen (IRL) and Raymond Tate (Sco) at Boards 3 and 4.

Chinedu, Theresa and Mikki win; Dan loses. When the leaders win, the field spreads out a little further, so now it's Chinedu 16-4, Theresa 15-5, Mikki 14-6, then Helen Gipson (Sco) (who beat Vincent Boyle (Sco)) 13-7 +687 and Dan +5 (!).

The nicest word I've seen all day was Mikki Nicholson's (Eng) FAHLERZ# (another word for tetrahedrite) against Eileen Meghen (IRL), contributing to her 432-313 victory over Eileen.
