Minor TSH feature upgrade: the electronic scoreboard should now, in all modern browsers (ones which support HTML5 “localStorage”), remember the number of rows and columns, starting rank and photo display toggle from your previous session. So if you are running a large tournament that requires multiple displays, once you have everything set the way you want it in each browser, reloading the scoreboard doesn't mean having to change all the scoreboard settings again. This feature is currently only available for this event, but will be rolled out for public release after this weekend, once I'm sure it's stable. (There's some question in my mind about how/whether to support multiple scoreboards in separate windows in one browser.)

There's a low-scoring game at Board 9, where John Barker (AUS) beats Sandy Nang (USA) 357–336.

Sam Kantimathi (USA) wins his third game by fewer than ten points, with a 417–413 win over Nicky Vella-Laurenti (MLT). He's 10–7 +320, and in 13th place, but permanently stationed at Board 5 for equipment reasons.

Helen Gipson (Sco) and Craig Beevers (Eng) play for a second time at Board 1. As Helen has a game's lead, but Craig has bigger spread, at stake is the lead. Craig wins 462–414, and climbs to the top for the first time, 13–4 +1382 ahead of Helen +932.

Average game total this round was 799.3, higher than the set's first round total of 786.4.

Third-ranked Mikki Nicholson (Eng) plays fifth-ranked Tony Sim (SGP) and wins 494–402 to stay in third; Siu Hean Cheah (SGP) stays in fourth with a 492–302 win over Brid Ni Bhriain (IRL). Mikki and Cheah trail the leaders by one game.

Teatime.
