We're back, after a long night, during which all of our ISP's (DreamHost) U.S. West Coast servers were offline, during a botnet attack of its WordPress sites. We are not running WordPress, but the size of the attack affected us like a DDOS attack. So I've got a lot of catching up to do this morning.

David Eldar (AUS) widens his lead back to 1.5 games, with a 572-436 win against John Barker (AUS) and is now 19-6 +1701; Theresa Brousson (MLT) remains in second place after a 434-360 loss to Chinedu Okwelogu (NGA) and is now 17½-7½ +1312. Helen Gipson (Sco) is alone on 17-8 with the highest spread of +1864. Tony Sim (SGP) and Steve Polatnick (USA) are 16-9 with remarkably little spread: +809 and +337.
