Back on time from lunch.

First results: David Delicata (MLT) 393 Ruth MacInerney (Eng) 321, Eileen Meghen (IRL) 430 Joe Caruana (MLT) 386.

Vincent Boyle (Sco) scored 662 Sanmi Odelana's (NGA) 177, setting records for high win, low loss, and of course, high spread. That almost brings Vincent's spread back up into positive territory, from -547 up to -62. Tony Sim (SGP) had the other 600+ game of the event, 608–318 against Esther Perrins (AUS).

Division A

Theresa Brousson (MLT) breaks her run of bad luck with two blanks, and a much-wanted 357–294 win over her Internet sparring partner Chris Keeley (Eng).

Helen Gipson's (Sco) 7-game winning streak comes to an end, with a 361–402 loss to Femi Awowade (Eng). The loss costs her the slim half-game lead, dropping her to third place, behind two of this round's winners, Craig Beevers (Eng) and Chinedu Okwelogu (NGA).

Mikki Nicholson (Eng) makes it back into the top ten with a 470–318 win over Nicky Vella-Laurenti (MLT) boosting her spread.

On 10–2 are Craig +517 and Chinedu +429; 9½–2½ Helen +718; 9–3 Mohammad Sulaiman (ARE) +527; 8–4 Femi Awowade (Eng) +937 Siu Hean Cheah (SGP) +561.

Division B

Daniel Milton's (USA) 11-game winning streak is brought to an end by Angele Andrews (MLT), with a resounding 433–258. Second-place Mario Saliba (MLT) also loses however, 397–406 to Ovidiu Tamas (ROM), so Daniel retains his two-game lead over Mario and Andy Gray (Eng).
