Junta Ikeda is the leader going into the final round of the 2010 ACT Championships. He and second place holder Andrey Bliznyuk are the only 2 players who can win the title, with third placed Ian Rout and Adrian De Noskowski a point and a half behind Ikeda.
Today saw the leaders play some particularly tough games with Ikeda salvaging an interesting draw against Rout (see below) before defeating second seed Yi Yuan in the days second game. Bliznyuk won both his games, the second being a theoretical double rook ending with only an extra rook pawn on the board.
The final round is being played tomorrow, with Ikeda needing only a draw for a share of the title.
