In the Open Division, top-ranked Jayne Mackenzie (Eng) and fourth-place Cecil Muscat (MLT) are playing in the annotated game at Board 1. At Board 2, the only other undefeated players, Pramit Kamath (IND) and Evan Cohen (ISR) are playing. Pramit beats Evan 393-326 to climb to first place, on 4-0 +200; Cecil beats Jayne 470-428 and is 4-0 +144. Nine players are one game behind, led unsurprisingly by Theresa on 3-1 +607 after beating Simon 446-357.

Raquelle Azran (ISR) and Maria Scicluna (MLT) turned in the second tie game of the tournament, and we're only in Round 2. Last week at the European Open, we went 32 games without a single tie.

The low win of the tournament so far comes in, Avril Shaw (ISR) 302 to Joe Caruana (MLT) 250.

We are down to three undefeated players in Division B: Mario Seychell (MLT), Margaret Armstrong (Eng) and Bronagh Kenny (IRL). Among the top seeds, Jim Wilkie (Sco) and Sammy Mangion (MLT) are on 3-1, along with such lower-ranked players as Mary Doyle (IRL), Nancy Alroy (ISR) and Pauline Cilia (MLT).
