I've finished coding the new compact index layout for tsh; it still looks a little rough style-wise (stylewise+H=?), but I need to get back to editing photos.

One of the last games to report in is at Board 3, where Joanne Craig (NZL) bingoes four times to beat Tony Sim (SGP) 619–316, the highest win so far.

Finishing in the lead today is Mikki Nicholson (Eng), 19–5 +1894, two full games ahead of Craig Beevers (Eng), 17–7 +1440, Helen Gipson (Sco) +1024 and Siu Hean Cheah (SGP) +704. Behind them are Tony Sim (SGP) 16–8 +201 (sic) and Joanne Craig (NZL) 15–9 +1379.

Mikki was the daily leader on the two nine-round days, yesterday and today, and today was the only player to win eight games, with a record of 8–1 +778.

Leading Class B is still top class seed Simon Gillam (Sco), hanging onto tenth place at 14–10 +379. Top in Class C is Daniel Milton (USA), 13–11 +190.

Makbul Manji adds from Facebook: "At round 24 Helen is the only opponent with no 2 straight losses while Mikki has it twice and Craig once." Which reminds me that Mikki's loss today was in the first round, so he's currently on the longest winning streak.

That's it for today. Tomorrow's the last day: eight rounds to go.
