The round robin format final 8 competition was held in Cape Town 22-24 September.
Chris Welsh added an upset in his online game against Victor to a solid performance in the over the board games to create a two way tie with Victor at the top on 6 points. Two way ties are resolved in favour of the winner of the head-to-head game, giving Chris first place. Chris’s performance also earned his promotion to 3 dan. Congratulations!
Andre’s fighting style of play yielded results against the Cape players, with him taking 3 of the 4 games (from Cape Town, only Sam scored his point against Andre).
1. Chris Welsh 3d (6 wins, prev 2d)
2. Victor Chow 7d (6 wins)
3. Andre Connell 3d (5 wins)
4. Andrew Davies 4d (4 wins)
5. Sam Scott 3d (3 wins)
