Congratulations to Rawle Allicock.
It was his first major title, and he shows good shape for the event in Beijing.
Rawle is a great player and I hope that I will meet him at Beijing. Surely he won't allow me two draws like he did in Prague.
Another one that will place in front of me ;-(
He is a candidate for the medals now and a possible contender to become the next challenger to Alex Moiseyev.

A list with the names of the players and their scores after the final round would do nicely, John.
But take your time, as I i know u r busy.
I heard that Danny Oliphant and Colin Youg were there, and maybe a few others.

Greetinx from cloudy Dortmund,

Ingo

Many congratulations to Rawle on a wonderful performance. He is a great ambassador for the game, a fine player and gentleman. I was quite pleased with my play, having lost no games, being in no losing positions and missing no wins. I finished on the same number of points as the runner-up but the rules were such that I was awarded 3rd place. Under the old rules of the "least number of losses taken into consideration" I would have placed 2nd.
My thanks to Ian Caws who served as MC and who performed his duties par excellence as always.

Congratulations to Lindus, Frank Moran and Rawle on their fine performances. Must be a wonderful place to play and catch up on friends, and Lindus tells me he has lots of photos of the event which he will place online for people to see.
