Boards 1&2 saw the first big clashes with IM Zong Yuan Zhao and IM Andras Toth playing on Board 1, and IM Gary Lane playing GM Dejan Antic on Board 2. 3rd Seed Igor Bjelobrk was playing Junta Ikeda on Board 3 after drawing with FM Brian Jones in Round 2.
Once all the clocks had stopped, Zhao had taken the outright lead on 3 after defeating Toth. Lane and Antic drew allowing Bjelobrk and Gareth Oliver (win over Brian Jones) to join them on 2.5 points.
In the Under 1600 event 3 ACT players lead the field with perfect scores. They are Sunny Yoon, Jey Hoole, and Erik Jochimsen.
There is one round to play this evening (Antic v Zhao, Toth v Lane, Bjelobrk v Oliver) followed by 3 rounds tomorrow.
