Final Classification
Granda’s Pairings compared to Fier’s Pairings
It is not often that one sees two players get 9 points from 10 each, but it does happen. The tournament had a single section with more than 450 players.
I suppose that Fier fully deserved winning the trophy on tiebreak as he played a somewhat stronger field than Granda: 5 GM’s vs 3 GM’s. The game between Granda and Fier ended in a draw.
