Today's event was an interesting one and went pretty much as expected. The
site was kind of noisy with numerous distractions but the most distracting
were the other players so it all evened out. The format used went okay. The
1700-1800 rated players mostly lost when playing blind and the higher rated
managed to get at least equal positions or better after the 30 moves.

Antoni Wysocki won with Jim Brennan second, Antoni claiming first after Jim
claimed brain damage before the final showdown. There were no blind vs blind
games and only one game where both players had sight. In all, 14 took part.
Antoni scored wins against Phil Boyle, Harold Uuetoa and Craig Morrison.
