As usual, the top two players, Ray Garrison and Mojmir Hanes, have a higher percentage of winning than the rest of the players.

quite understandable

It seems that the Mojmir Hanes - Ray Garrison game will decide the winner this time.

Congrats, Ray. I bet the prospect of 2 losses had you fretting a little!

Thank you Phil, the two loses did have me fretting, but I knew that I could still win the championship if I could beat kyle and mojmir. I must commend vic and pim for their excellent play.

Congrats to Ray.

Extra mention goes to pim and especially to vic that gathered 6 wins in 7 games. We can only wonder who the champion would be if pim hadn't lost 1 game from time (to Mojmir) and vic hadn't lost 2 games from time (against kyle and alkosan) during golem July downtime.

Can someone elaborate why or how did vic and pim manage to get a victory out of Ray?

Is it due to original openings :

[game;id:1041368;move:26] or [game;id:1041366;move:28]

where would the first error be?

Congrats to Ray for his next championship !
