Hard to believe that it's already been a week since our players arrived and started the tournament!

Today started with another simul - this time 10 participants took the chance to take on one of the best German chess players Elisabeth Pähtz. However, she decided all her games in her favour but she also gave a few hints and tips to some of the players after the games had finished.

The penultimate round certainly brought a feeling of slight tension and anticipation in the hall - some teams knew today's games would be important! With in the 50+ games England managed to clinch another 3.5 points against Bielefeld. Germany only got 1.5 points in their game against Slovakia and only one team managed a clean sweep.

Within the 65+ team the Lasker Schachstiftung team took over the lead as they managed to achieve 2.5 points from their game against Germany 3. Sweden 1 gained 3 points against Germany 1 and clinched 3rd place for now whilst two further teams had a clean sweep with 4 points.

It continues to be interesting and the final winners are not quite decided!
