As a result, the playing system that was used previous time, was very tough for players this time. As you can see from tournament table, the 80% result could only give 10th place, while in common tournaments 80% may easily give the first place.
The most amazing part of this tournament was the performance of FIFAWORLDCUP and linas2. Nobody could believe before the tournament that anyone could get full points, furthermore, it was unimaginable that there will be two players with full points. It is a miracle. FIFAWORLDCUP had a better Berger coefficient and surely won the tournament! Congratulations to both of them!
Grand Master yyfcsd repeated the score of the last time winner, but this time the score was not sufficient for the first place and it gave the 3rd place. Very good job by yyfcsd! Golden Grand Master luwenzhe made very strong tournament. Being busy with referee duties, he still managed to play excellent games and reach the great 4th place!
Dvoeglaz and Grand Master jahre got the 5th and 6th place - probably a bit disappointment for them, they surely expected better places! Perhaps, when we change the tournament system in the future, they will have better chances.
Grand Master Liuchao who was 13th place last time had reached into top 10 this time. He fought very well until the end, and survived in the longest game of the tournament.
The rest of the top 10 places were taken by yangxuzl, lingdodo and coco_yuang. Very good job! As you can see, it is very hard to get into top 10. strul only lost 4.5 points
out of 20 but still could not make a place in top 10. Very pity! Several other players played also very well. In fact, to be in top 20 is also a big success considering that there were 48 players in the tournament.
The only pity part of the tournament was the withdrawal of some players in the beginning and quitting of some players in the end - they dropped their games and did not make moves there.
Other than that, the tournament was a big success!
During the tournament there was also a discussion about possible match between FIFAWORLDCUP and linas2, but
the idea did not get any further because it did not get support from other players of the tournament.
My big thanks to Referees luwenzhe, shuker and coco_yuang, tournament table manager span, server administrator farmer, and all the players in the tournament! You were all great and made our tournament to be successful! The tournament was a good example of fair play, fighting spirit, and great friendship. Many of you got to know each other better through this tournament.
