Adams Leads British Championship
In an entirely predictable manner, the British #1 Mickey Adams (pictured) is dominating the 2010 British Championship.
After six completed rounds of the 11-round Swiss tournament, Adams is leading by a full point on 5.5/6, giving up a single draw against Nicholas Pert so far.
Last year's women's champion, Jovanka Houska is the leading woman again on 4.5 points.
