CHAMPIONSHIP

Nigel Richards (NZL) beats Weibin Toh (SGP) for the second time, 491-326. Toh and Shanker Menon (IND) had trailed Nigel by three games; with Shanker's 446-339 loss to Helen Gipson (Sco), Nigel's lead widens to four games, and the spectre of his Gibsonization looms large with six rounds to go.

RECREATIONAL

Congratulations to Suzanne Dundas (NLD), whose 425-383 win over Peggy Fehily (DEU) this round clinches first place for her. As the division is odd, she will receive Gibsonization byes for the last two rounds.

Contending second place still are Pam Morris (AUT) 12-6 +1405, Paul Dundas (NLD) +409, Nancy Alroy (ISR) +943 and Peggy +223.
