Nigel Richards (NZL) has some tough opponents coming up. This round, it's Helen Gipson (Sco), who bested him in the King's Cup in Bangkok earlier this year, and came to Prague just to see if she could do it again. Next up is Adam Logan (CAN), the other World Champion in the room. Adam is in second place, 3.5 games behind Nigel, which means that if the top flight doesn't circulate with the next one, then there will be repeat pairings at the top for the first time in Round 17.
