| dwadefoley: <waustad: Top female prize is a four way tie. How do they do prizes? Do they split, use tiebreaks or use the Hort system?> The woman with the highest performance rating takes sole first ladies' prize I believe. |

| dwadefoley: <Refused You are aware, that 28...Qe5?? was a real howler from Brunello. The position might have been a bit unpleasent for him, but it was far from over. 28...Qe5?? was simply a blunder that ended the game instantly.> I'm well aware that ...Qe5 was a blunder (most games end |
