The Chinese is still maintaining the half-point advantage over the field. It is very suprising to see two Americans were booted out the Top 10 standing alongside with one Hungarian. Who have taken over their places? Well, it is another Slovak, Russian and Bulgarian.

The sole leader from Russia at half-way stage had a terrible last two rounds that saw her knocked off from the throne by a Netherlander who herself has established a half-point advantage over others with another 3 rounds to go. There is only one casualty with an Iranian getting out and was replaced by an Azerbaijani.

Is is a very sad day for the Belarusans where their heroin who is the sole tournament leader at half-way stage was knock out of Top 10 by receiving a double K.O. after the day off. This is a clear and good example where the aspect of Mind Coaching is so bloody important !!!!! Let this scenario be also a lesson to be learnt by all Malaysians. May be one day in future, we have a Malaysian who can reach the same pinnacle at WYCC and we must make sure he/she does not suffer the same fate like this girl. Other casualties include a Russian and a Chinese. While, an Azerbaijani, an American and an Iranian have replaced them in the Top 10 standing.

Again, the Belarusans saw their heroin lost the sole leader status obtained at half-way stage. Now, she is sharing the top spot with 4 other players. Hope that she can survive the ordeal till the finishing line. A Spaniard and an Armenian could not survive the heat at Top 10 and were replaced by a Kazakh and an Azerbaijani.
