Repeat pairings begin this round in the top 12-person flight, because they have all played each other so much, they cannot be paired without repeats.

Team Singapore met at Board 7 in a close game, with Tony Sim (SGP) beating Siu Hean Cheah (SGP) 430-423.

Bottom seed Marion Loewenstein (ISR) finally records her first win of the tournament, and not coincidentally rockets to the top of the upsets list, with a 363–346 win over Kevin Synnott (Eng), who is rated more than 900 points above her. Well done, Marion!

Helen Gipson (Sco) beats Esther Perrins (AUS) in a close, high-scoring game, 450–441; Mikki Nicholson (Eng) loses a blowout to Craig Beevers (Eng) 570–377 and drops to third place behind Craig. At the end of the day, it's Helen on 12–3 +928, followed by Craig 11–4 +1228, Mikki +1116 and Tony +480.

The best record today was 7–2, attained by six players: Mikki, Craig, Helen, John Barker (AUS), Mohammad Sulaiman (ARE) and Tony
