David Delicata (MLT) beats Ovidiu Tamas (ROM) 568-241 this round, the third-highest winning spread of the tournament. Duncan Keet (ZAF) beats Margaret Armstrong (Sco) 328-321, which was the fourth-lowest winning game.

In the end, Dan Sandu (ROM) had the luckiest record, six wins by a total of 74 points; Mary Doyle (IRL) and Jojo Delia (MLT) were correspondingly unluckiest, with six losses totalling only 89 points. Amazingly, Mary wins the Class C prize: if she had scored 95 more points, she would have finished in sixth place overall.

I don't have the record of Chinedu Okwelogu's (NGA) warmup game against Graham Haigh (see last round), but it looks like they had fun. I know I'm feeling the way I usually do after running a tournament: I want to spend all night studying new words, and all day tomorrow playing Scrabble!

In the annotated game for third place, Mikki Nicholson (Eng) beats Mohammad Sulaiman (ARE) 476-373 to claim the prize. Mikki bingoed UNWIRES, AIRLIKE and PAROLEE to Mohammad's SERRATI and SECTION.
