Play resumed after a 30-minute break for lunch, at 13:50. We're almost an hour behind schedule, and without any breaks remaining that can be shortened, will almost certainly play until about 21:00.

Gerald Carter (Eng) asks if we can end the tournament now, with him in first place, ahead of Nigel Richards (NZL) on spread. As tempted as I was to let him go home and play with his beautiful baby daughter, we'll let the players keep playing for a few more rounds.

At Board 34 this round, Thanatchaporn Thiankarojanakul (THA) beat her twin sister Thanaporn Thiankarojanakul (THA) 381-374.
