ChessSystemTal won the tournament, Arasan got the second place, Nightmare, Goldbar and rpiRofchade third.
This time rofChade was a bit unlucky and unexpectedly lost 3 games.
Nameless had problems, the engine refused to move with black, so Eendje had to forfeit it. Hopefully it will be better next time.

One outright winner and not so many draws, usually it’s a cluster tied for first place and draws abundant.
