The very last game to finish between CY Chong and David Or (1-0) officially concluded the Finals. From the beginning until the end it remained crowded at the top. Four people ended with a total of 8 points, closely followed by a mid-range group of again 4 people scoring between 5.5 to 7 points. The bottom four players remained at a modest but significant distance from the rest of the crowd: next year gentlemen!

Congratulations to HK Tsang with his championship title and a special proficiat to Bryan Lee and Andrew Koenigsberg who managed to score the highest increase in their rating points due to very strong tournament rating performance!

Hong Kong Chess Federation, again, managed to organize an excellent tournament. Looking forward to coming events.

The end result:
