Here are the results from our final round:

• (2053) Chris Brooks 0.5-0.5 Colin Denniston (2071)
• (2106) Leo Freyvert 0-1 Chris Keefe (1840)
• (1744) Harry Stenger 0-1 Ernie Johnson (1924)
• (1872) Peter Barkman 1-0 Ken Evans (1806)
• (1872) Rasit Topaloglu 1-0 Trevor Brooks (1715)
• (1638) JJ Oracz 0-1 Robert Simmons (1811)
• (1783) Darius Jafary 1-0 Michael Guse (unr)
• (902) Sandhya Sudarsanam 0-1 Seamus Gould (1626)
• (1237) Ori Raz 0.5-0.5 David Wright (unr)
• (1218) Taylor Dean 1-0 Shreya Sudarsanam (852)

In the drama that on was boards 1 and 2, Chris played it safe against 2017 DCC Champion Colin Denniston needing only a draw to eliminate him from contention.  The likely draw forced aggressive play on board 2, where Leo lost in a sacrificial attack to newcomer Chris Keefe.

A new feature added to the club for this season, the tournament will not end in tiebreaks (Brooks would win on tiebreaks in case you were wondering).  Chris Brooks will play black against Chris Keefe in a playoff in room 104, or 201 next Monday!  The first game will be Game 60 delay 10, a second if necessary will follow at Game 25 delay 10.  Blitz would follow thereafter.

The VC grand prix will be updated shortly.
