This in from Edi Birsan:

The board totals will follow tomorrow and some pictures and comments
This is the raw info.

Congratulations to Steve Ross for his Tournament Win.
in addition to a lot of new players that played with us, there was
another 8 or so that were taught and a group of players that had
played before or were on email lists only that I was able to get
contacts with. The weirdest of these reconnection was Woody Yeung
who recognized my name from some articles I wrote and then asked me
to comment on his email game. He whipped it up on his IPhone I
noticed that it was on the Russian language Website run by the same
fellow that I met in Moscow two weeks ago and where I am playing one
Gunboat game on (*not the same game).
