We’re back, and the games are underway. Results for both sections are uploaded, but annotation will have to wait. Last two rounds will see more of the top guns playing each other, as intended by the pairings. A lot of the top 10 or top 10 contenders are playing each other now. Nigel vs Panupol, Ganesh vs Komol, Chris vs Odette, Hubert vs Gerry.
The previous round, Goh Jiang Pern (SIN) pulled out the crucial win in Singapore’s 3-2 win against Panupol Sujjayakorn (THA). Panupol played a nine-timer, FIELDING (167), but still lost in a massive game, 527-540. I hope I can scrounge together the racks later for posting.
I walked past Trevor Halsall (AUS) vs Dean Saldanha (INT) just as they went for self-adjudication. Two 8-letter words on the board: UNHOSTED and DEADE?ES. It turned out to be UNHOSTED which was challenged, and it’s not good. DEADEyES was a nice find though.
Tony Sim (SIN) has returned the favour to Pui Cheng Wui (MAL), by playing a nine-timer of his own, VENTAILE (158) against Pui. This leaves Dielle Saldanha (CAN) as the only one who can prevent Tony from winning the tournament. Dielle is on a 7-game winning streak and is one win behind Tony. Another North American Tim Michaels (USA) is also staging a late rally, winning 3 in a row with total spread of +539 to muscle his way into the top 10.
