The 2Q internet tournament was held on Saturday 26 October. The field divided into two main rating clusters, 4d-1d and 4k-7k. This made for competitive matches within the clusters, but also allowed the kyu players the opportunity to test their strength against dan-level players in a tournament game (without handicap). Super to have Magnus, visiting from Germany, in the field.
