Gareth Oliver last night raised his score to 2 points after round five of the World Juniors in Turkey. He defeated Turkish player Ekrem Bugra Gokcek. In the second round, the Canberran scored his first win by beating Berker Ozoglu, also from Turkey.

Meanwhile, Sarah Anton has had a terrible run since her lone victory in round two over WFM Marsel Efroimski. Last night the Victorian player dropped yet another game to a certain WFM Sarolta Toth (I wonder if she's related to current Canberra-based coach IM Andras Toth).
But our Pinoy readers will surely be happy with GM Wesley So. The young grandmaster is still undefeated and now has 3.5 points from five games, just a point behind current leaders Li Chao and David Howell. The other day our friends in ChessDom reported that So has just cracked the magic 2600-mark barrier. Let's hope that he can keep it up.
