[kiwinurse]

Are there 3 in first place? And who played and their rankings?Do you have those yet John?Lindus emailed me from the Isle of Wight 3 days ago, but ive heard nothing since then

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,

[Lindus Edwards]

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.

[kiwinurse]

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.

[MostFamousDane]

Congratulations to Rawle for winning and Lindus for playing a perfect tournament!

[Lindus Edwards]

Not perfect enough however Sune as I needed a couple more wins
