A pity that GWD crashed in the first round, at least it looked like that.
The position against Mobydam seems to be quite drawish...

Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for organizing and running this tournament!

Congratulations to Ed for ending on top with Kingsrow.

Is it possible to download all games of this tournament somewhere? (the download links on your website don't seem to do anything)

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Hi Joost,

it's about second and third place and seventh place. Is this the way it is supposed to be and leave it that way or has there been an error (through no fault of my own). The tournament games are ready. I will send it by e-mail.
