There's a lot of giddiness in the air, as people win tense games and shout "I love this game!" or "I'm having so much fun!"

Trevor Mark Hovelmeier (ZAF) and Adeeb Ahmad (BHR) appear to have played a game of tic-tac-toe as well as SCRABBLE^®: they filled up the 3x3 grid of challenged words on their result slip. Trevor appears to have won both games.

Kristen just entered an interesting game from Board 2 of the last round, where Adam and Panupol played to a six-point spread.
