Anyway, congratz to <Karposian> for scoring the triple crown. I'm not sure why he got so mad at me for "robbing" him in the first round when it didn't matter, but so it goes. ;) Also congratz to <WinKing> for grabbing 4 medals. With the 3 silver, he is now tied with <chessmoron> for most runner-up medals won with 31. Interesting how the 2 users that I got on their bad side, <Karposian> and <WinKing> take home all the gold. Anyone wanna be next (j/k)? Also nice to see that 13 of the 15 users came away with a medal (sorry <wordfunph> and <SirRuthless>).

Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OCF> for making this contest possible, and hope to see you soon (Bilbao hopefully?).

BTW: I find it important to note what would happen if I didn't point out the scoring error in Round 1. Sure, someone would've done it <eventually>, but here's the medal changes if that error did went unnoticed:

<WinKing> -♘♘, +♗

<moulicules> +♘, -♗

<Golden Executive> +♗

What that means is that <WinKing> would have 2 silvers replaced by a mere bronze while <moulicules> would've won a silver instead of bronze, and <Golden Executive> got robbed of a 3rd bronze.
