Adrian De Noskowski was also able to slow one of the leaders, taking half a point from Michael Wei. At one stage Wei was a pawn up, but De Noskowski was able to hold the position. Jeremy Reading scored his second consecutive win, after beating Justin Chow. Chow sacrificed an exchange out of the opening, but a miscalculation allowed Reading to consolidate his material advantage, winning soon after. Yijun Zhnag tried to hold a blocked position against Andrey Bliznyuk, but seized control of the only open file and then slowly manoeuvred his pieces to their best squares before engineering the decisive breakthrough.
At the halfway point Brown lead with 5/5, followed by Ikeda on 4/5 and Wei on 3.5. Bliznyuk is on 3 but has one game in hand.
