In the battle of the co-leaders, Babb refuted Boron's risky play, and guaranteed himself at least a tie for first place.

Zaczek handed Schulz his first loss of the tournament (and first loss in his last sixteen games or so), and Nikouline and Khedkar got back to 50%.

 

Babb-Boron  1-0

Khedkar-Kaptsan 1-0
