The games:

Game 1:
A tactical finish in a slightly better position

Game 2:
The BDG goes right!

Game 3:
Interesting game where a piece sac creates a group of central passed pawns, which prove decisive in a tricky middlegame

Game 4:
A wild line of the BDG where I go horribly wrong shortly after my theoretical knowledge ends & black finishes off reasonably neatly to tie the match

An interesting match where a few positional & tactical blunders decided each game.

ganstaman gets a forfeit win over Velocity, and chocaholic gets one over Pawntificator. That second one we could have seen coming, since technically Pawntificator had withdrawn from the tourney, but I forgot about that when I was doing pairings, and I suppose it didn't matter since chocaholic would have just gotten a bye anyway. So that means that this tournament is officially complete!

Final Standings (In tie-break order):

Code:

Rank Player	Score
1. Noir_Desir	3.5
2. Tomukas	3
3. Nikachu	3
4 .ganstaman	3
5. chocaholic	2
6. Cadaz	2
7. HipHopRTR	1.5
8. Punker	1.5
9. Velocity	1.5

Congratulations to Noir_Desir on the win! And thanks to everyone who participated, I hope you had a good time.
