Two additional annotated games from earlier rounds have been put up: Chris May (AUS) vs Ganesh Asirvatham (MAL) and Ed Okulicz (AUS) vs Ganesh.
Team Singapore managed to beat team Malaysia 4-1, with upset wins against both Nigel and Ganesh by Hubert and Cheah. This incidentally, is Hubert’s 3rd win in a row against Nigel, extending his run in WSC. Coupled with team Australia’s 3-2 win against team Thailand, Singapore has vaulted into the lead now with 58.5 points to Thailand’s 57. Australia too has overtaken Malaysia and is now third with 53.5
Australia’s win and Malaysia’s loss was reflected by the fortunes of their top players: where Ganesh and Nigel stumbled, Chris May (AUS) has continued his fine run by beating Panupol Sujjayakorn (THA). He is now leading the field as the only player on 17 wins.
In the Open division, Tony Sim (SIN) won against Jocelyn Lor (MAL) and now is one clear of the field. Chaiwat (THA) and Jocelyn are one game behind and still with a shot. Four Singaporeans and four Malaysians are in the top 10, with the other two players in being Chaiwat and Dielle Saldanha (CAN) at 6th.
Some nice plays spotted: NOCTUOID (Ganesh), BIRYANIS (Goh JP), ALIKELY (Chris), SHAGREEN (Michael Hornung).
