Thorin Munro and Steve Lytton attained equal scores;
Thorin wins by the tie breaker as he had the better 'best game'.
The longest game was 1910. No time draws except the last roung,
which was drawn in 1905, at 7pm on Sunday.
The Melbourne Chess Club was a very decent venue for gaming,
and it was also close to the Brunswick St cafes and bars.
Grant kindly laid out a huge buffet table - plenty of food for
us for moring tea and lunch.
Bill and Grant put in a big effort in mobilising players to turn
up - thanks.
