A near-record turnout on a truly awful weather day -- 10mm freezing rain -- is a good sign for the state of chess in Ottawa.
Thanks to everyone who came out; let's hope your auto insurance doesn't go up as a result.
Armando Valdizon won with 4.5/5.
The phantom Aris Marghetis was =1st on the strength of four full-point byes, but had an inferior tie-break (the one weakness of full point byes). Sorry Aris, but no full point byes in the last round.
