[1] gives final standings including SB tie-breaking scores and enough partial results to reconstruct the crosstable from the experts’ section. Unfortunately, the same is not true for the open section and many games are still missing. There were quite a few surprises in the main section, like Mohandesi’s elimination after two rounds and Maes’ failure to qualify for the final. The qualification were played on May 8th, 10th, 11th, 17th & 18th with the final and the open being played on May 19th & 31st and June 1st, 7th & 8th.
Wanted
- Most games.
- The crosstable from the open section.
