Last round of the Seniors today. In the over-65s, Craig has come back strongly after his three consecutive losses, and another win today could give him a top 5 place. Douglas and Jim have also performed creditably and are curently ahead of their seeded positions.
With a 1-point lead over his main rival Vaisser, Okhotnik looks set to regain the title he won in 2012 - I don't expect his game today (White vs Vasiukov) to last more than 5 minutes.
In the over-50s, Roddy has had a very tough draw after such a strong start, and has had some bad luck in the last few rounds. Top seed Nikolic (who plays Keith Arkell today) is just half a point clear of second seed Rosentalis and Slovenia's George Mohr, so there is still plenty to play for there.
