Full Results in online from Vega
After the first night there were three players on 3 points, Ben Hague, Bruce Watson and Allen Fan. There were another 6 on 2.5 points.
Rounds 4 and 5 had two upsets that the top with Leo Zhang beating first Allen Fan and then Bruce Watson to go into the lead in the last round (with 4.5 points). However Leo decided to take a half point bye in the last round which gave a chance for some of the 6 players on 4 points to catch up to him.
Final result was 4 players sharing 1st place on 5 points out of 6
- Bruce Watson
- Leo Zhang
- Ben Hague
- Gordon Morrell
with John Duneas 4th on 4.5 points and 13 players on 4.0 points (including 1139 rated Winston Weng who beat 3 players rated in the 1500s)
We also had some problems with the Vega software on both nights. This has now been updated and will hopefully behave itself.
