In Division A, Board 1: David Webb (Eng) and Austin Shin (Eng) are gibsonized to play each other, having clinched first and second place respectively. At Board 2, Theresa Brousson (MLT) is playing Simon Gillam (Sco) for third place, and as I write this, David Delicata (MLT) is hoping that the game will end in a tie, giving him third.

In Division B, Moira Fenech (MLT) may end as much as four games ahead of the field. Brid Ni Bhriain (IRL) is playing Dominic Borg (MLT) with the winner getting second place. The loser will be overtaken by the winner of the Mario Seychell (MLT)-Pauline Cilia (MLT) match and fall out of the prize money.
