Peter Turner reports: David hopes to maintain his 100% score, whilst Selina's 3/4 keeps her safely in the chasing group at this early stage. We hope pairings will be out before midnight so that we can get to bed at a reasonable time.
11.25pm Our U18 boys ‘lock horns’ and Sarah Hegarty must hope that there are no more England players for her to play [There aren't any more but she might not know that, Ed]. David is paired against an old adversary - they know each other very well. The preparation will be interesting.
In contacts with home today we have reports of misty, miserable weather. Perhaps you may be concerned about conditions here. Don't worry we are coping OK with the continuous sunshine.

5.30pm [Ed - Howell's game is against the very strong Russian, 2nd seed FM Ian Nepomniachtchi. Play began on schedule - The Spanish exchange variation gives black doubled pawns but two bishops as compensation, probably still in book at move 12. See this pair's last game at http://www.crowboroughchessclub.org.uk/games8/davidhrd9euro.htm]
6.10pm Our U10s came out almost together. You may remember that earlier when George had won he tried to fool us by looking miserable. On this occasion he failed to maintain the downcast demeanor and it was clear from a distance that the pair had good news - England 2 The World 0
6.30pm On it goes, Teresa comes to say, "win!" 6.45 As Victor Meldrew would say, "I don't I believe it", Li continues the winning sequence - England 4 The World 0
7.00pm We were all worried about the Craig v Simon game and its' effect on our winning sequence BUT the result was a draw, so I can claim England 5 The World 0
7.10pm It just cannot continue, Murugan appears looking unhappy to finally report a WIN!! 6 - 0 Must get back to our group area, you need to be fit to be Team Manager - I love it! (on bad days as well)
7.20pm I hope I can survive this excitement. We have a base established in our hotel which is next to the playing hall. Players know to come and report as they finish. Parents, coaches are there to support in the after match analysis. There is a marvellous spirit, win or lose. So far today is special because of the extraordinary run of good results. Molly has just come in to report another win 7 - 0
7.25pm It's been an unusual evening, which had to end some time, Poppy & Katie have come in together and reported losses. They have had a drink and joined the analysis of games, 7 - 2. There are six games to go, we could finish 7 - 8 or 13 - 2. You can see who is still playing, what is your prediction?
7.30pm [Ed, David and his opponent are on move 27. White has had a slight advantage since swapping a knight for David's black squared bishop on move 16, and allowing David to undouble his pawns. But the position is still very close and both are playing with necessary precision. If this continues a draw seems quite likely - 7:37 they must have only 20 minutes between them + the increments due. After 29 Qh2 black has an edge for the first time if 29 ..f4.] [7.45pm After 29 .. f4 ... 30 Rhe1 Rc8 it looks that the time pressure is mounting.]
7.50pm James came in to report a loss 7 - 3 Is this the start of a collapse? 8.00pm Jessie comes in with a 'thumbs up' sign 8 - 3 Yes we beat the World, but by how many?
7.52pm [David's game: move 32, 10 minutes left between them, moving more quickly now and white has an advantage.] [8.06pm After 37 Nc6+ Fritz says +1.18] [8.12pm move 43 Red1 Kc7, must be running on empty, now +2.35] [8.18pm 49 Rxb5+ Kc6 white now has decisive advantage] [8.19pm 51 .. Ne5 mate in 10] [8.23pm 57 Ra7+ mate in two 58 .. resigns]
