In a finale of mistakes IM Han kept up the pressure and checkmated Yang and IM Chiku-Ratte gave a relatively smooth performance in his win.

[Hans Jung]

I will pick six decisive games on the top 6 boards in rd 7, just because it feels good to do that and I have never done that before.

[Hans Jung]

Its nice to see all the GM's on the top 10 boards. No major upsets of GM's yet and we have passed the halfway point.

[Hans Jung]

Eric Cloutier had three wins in a row! Super congratulations! But then he's lost the last two in a row, however all his losses are to higher rated players. He is playing well and at 50%. We will continue to watch his results with interest.

[Hans Jung]

Richard Douglas is having a great tournament. Is there anyone else lower rated that is doing so?
