IM Jonathan Hawkins has led the British Championship from end to end thus far
David Howell had a terrible start as already known, but has since recovered with a 4.5/5 streak, taking him to 7.0/9. 56-year-old Mark Hebden has been enjoying a bit of a rebirth, and has also scored five points in the last six rounds, including back-to-back wins over GM Emms and GM Williams in rounds eight and nine. In round ten, he will get a stab at the leader as he has white against Hawkins, while Howell will have black against Nicholas Pert, who is sole fourth with 6.5/9.
