Junta Ikeda went into this round tied for first place with Brown, but in a curious game he was held to a draw by Adrian De Noskowski. Just before the end Ikeda missed a strong continuation that won the exchange, but was still better when the draw was agreed. Alana Chibnall was unlucky not to bag the full point against Andrey Bliznyuk, after launching a very strong attack out of the opening. She was even ahead material, but decided to return some of it to keep the attack going. At the crucial moment she missed the killing move and Bliznyuk was able to make a draw.
Jeremy Reading beat Miles Patterson in a that would horrify the positional purists. Both players castled to compromised kingsides, but it was Reading's attack that won the day. In the final game to finish, Peter Pullicino was able to convert a better position in a double rook ending into a winning rook and pawn ending, although Ian Rout still made him work for the point.
With 3 rounds to go, Andrew Brown leads on 5/6 with Junta Ikeda on 4.5/6

How come there is no pgn viewer allowing us to run through these games to see how the games unfolded?
Google does not have a tool native to blogger that allows games to be replayed. You can embed links to other sites which will show re-playable games, but that depends on those sites remaining active. I used to do this (with chessworld.com) but not recently. The easiest way to look at the games is to cut and paste the moves into chessbase light or some other game viewer on your computer (it you have the software)
