The strongest AB Chess Championship ended as expected, with the Province's first GM taking the title. With a quick last round draw Eric secured 1st place and finished with 4/5. Second place went to IM Edward Porper with 3.5/5. Third place went to NM Alex Yam (2.5/5). Fourth was shared by IM Richard Wang and FM Vladimir Pechenkin 2/5 each. As expected, I finished last, but with a score of 1/5 I actually gained rating!
