And back from Blayney tonight

A quick summary of results from the 2008 Blayney Open. The tournament attracted 40 players (up from 34 last year) and would have more except for a number of last minute emergency drop outs.
Top seed Endre Ambrus won the event with 5.5/6. He started with 5 wins and finished the event with a game against David Castor that went 1.b3 Draw? which was then accepted by Castor. Second place went to Peter Abbott on 5/6 with a 4 way tie for third on 4.5. David Dick won the title of NSW Country Champion (repeating his win from 1985!), while most of the other prizes were collected by players from Canberra.
How I managed to go from 4/4 to 4/6 will be the subject of tomorrows post. It won't be pretty.
