In the Women’s competition, Pairs winner Marion Michielsen of the Netherlands is tied for first with Teams winner Catherine Draper of England. A lot can happen in 21 boards in any form of the game, but particularly so in an Individual, so there are a lot of players going into the final session of both championships with realistic hopes
