Several players were heard saying that they wished this was the end of the tournament, because they had performed much better so far than they had expected. I won't name names.

After this round ended at 10:30, we took an extended break, for the Opening Ceremony rehearsal, the Opening Ceremony itself (visit from representative of the Royal Family, formal exchange of gifts and awards, promotional video, traditional Thai dance, marching band performance, and of course the Parade of Nations), then lunch. We reconvene at 12:30.
