The main trait of the IM section was the run for IM norm of the two leading players.
Their battle came in R7 and victory of the more experienced player Chkhaidze Nikoloz (GEO, 34) lifted him near his goal. Finally he won the last game too leaving no doubt that his achievement was well deserved. Eliseev Evgeniy (UKR) may be consoled with collecting 83 extra rating points.

The highest rating section was a fair and balanced contest of experienced masters. They all played highly over their present ratings. The winner, Simons Rudy (NED) took over his gold medal with emotional relief after the heavy fights.
Frost Peter (AUS) jumped over to Europe for a longer chess tour enjoyed the tournament despite losing some and promised to return in December so that to make it much better.
He has great opportunity for developing skills at Harkany Open (HUN) that comes soon.
