Tiebreaks applied (but not published online, perhaps because tiebreaks published yesterday wee wrong) to separate players on the same number of points
My final score of +5=1-2 was a Fide elo performance of 2048, which is very satisfactory when compared to my Fide rating of 1814, but not so impressive when compared to my English Chess Federation rating of 1998. To an extent it is academic in that the games will not be rated by Fide or the ECF.
But my bank account should be swelling by 100 euros, and I won a trophy.

Congratulations Tim. I hope you enjoyed the tournament. Have a safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteWell done Tim
ReplyDeleteWell done. But why wasn't the tournament FIDE rated?
ReplyDeleteFIDE does not recognise the ACO and so refuses to rate the competition. Politics eh!
DeleteThanks, Tim. Our queen exchange may not have required two games, but that’s a minor detail 😅. See you on the (chess amateur) road 👍. Rgds, Tomek Sielicki
ReplyDeleteTomasz is referring to the fact that in our game in round four I was winning easily ... and then blundered my queen. In our game in round eight he was winning but allowed a check that should have led to a draw by repetition ... but instead he gave me his queen.
