Loek Van Wely (with White) played a wild game against Francisco Vallejo Pons
Nigel Short chose an unusual way to prepare for his sixth round game at the Bangkok Open and decided to test the Thai boxing skills of Sophie Milliet from France earlier in the day. They turned out to be better than those of Short. After the defeat in Thai boxing Short also lost his game - this time against Wynn Zaw Htun from Myanmar.
