After 6 rounds Steve Hilton has a noteworthy 3/6
Steve's only 2 losses being against the 7th and 15th seeds both IM players. I think at least one of them is a former world champion .
Next opponent is an ungraded American whose games so far have resulted in 6 wins for the white pieces and 6 losses for the black pieces.
Steve will be ................. White
Hope the American's sequence continues

I hear these two played 2 years ago at the Olympiad.
Result a draw but Steve took the draw in a good position to give the team a won match.
Good luck tomorrow Steve.

Steve's result today was a draw with the black pieces.
Half point needed from the final round to hit a very impressive 50% for the tournament - which I gather was the target Steve set for himself.
Tomorrow's opponent is a German with FIDE grade of 2012.
Steve has white

Thanks everyone for their interest.
The 2 games I lost were to 2 players who both won the World championship twice!!
This was my 3rd World Championship and each time I have scored 50% with the same make up of my score, ie: 2 wins 5 draws and 2 losses
My statistics now read 6 wins 15 draws and 6 losses, only one of which was with white.
