CHESS CHS Nigel Chudleigh maintains a half-point lead going into tonight's final round of the Canada Dry Tournament, needing only a draw against Brian Stephenson to take the trophy.

However, if Stephenson wins and Bob Bagley fails to beat George Ben, then Stephenson will be the new champion. The third permutation is if both Stephenson and Bagley win. In that event one of those will win on tie-break.

Last week's fifth-round results E.Keen 0, N.Chudleigh 1; M.Craggs 0, B.Stephenson 1; B.Bagley 1, C.Williams 0; M.Douglas 0, G.Ben 1; D.Arorash 1, K.Hartmann 0; W.Sproule 0, G.Levy 1; D.Elleson 1, D.Dillas 0 (by default).

Tonight's pairings Stephenson v Chudleigh; Ben v Bagley; Levy v Keen; Craggs v Arorash; Williams v Douglas; Hartmann v Elleson; Dillas v Sproule.
