THE 8TH ROUND RESULTS - YAMAGUCHI AND WU ARE LEADING

First of all it should be mentioned that the pairs of 8th and 10th rounds were swapped because referees discovered that the 10th round pairing contained the game Purk vs Oll. By the principle of AT games, the players from same country should not meet in last three rounds, therefore the swap of rounds was made by referees.

In the central fight of the round, Yamaguchi won his game against Sushkov and gained leadership with pleasant Berger coefficient. Wu Di shares the first place, having also 6 points from 8 games.
