This 9 round swiss was won by Mirko Rujevic and Richard Voon. It is planned that they will have a 4 game playoff.
Entering the last round were 5 players leading on 6/8, a most unusual occurrence. Jesse Jager drew with Thai Ly after the latter took perpetual check. A stronger move could have seen Jesse a clear pawn up. Doug Hamilton lost to Mirko Rujevic after sucessfully defending against a Marshall only to lose an ending where Mirko's huge time advantage counted for more than 2 pawns. Pano Skiotis lost to Richard Voon after blundering a pawn in a good position. Voon and Rujevic both had an hour left compared to the few minutes their oponents had.
