It's normal to feel exhausted on the morning after a weekend event. I did not enjoy (deservedly) losing a superior bishop-vs.-knight ending in the last round, but I had fun!
The Nikola Mitkov-Gopal Menon time scramble in round one sounded like an metronome: I have never heard players move as quickly in tournament play as they did.
And it was pure joy to watch Carl Boor and William Aramil analyze a speculative queen sac in another player's Dragon Variation game: they got so engrossed in the possibilities that they were looking at a plethora of variations fifteen to twenty moves deep.
More later: for now, the crosstables are here!

Very Rhine-like result by Chow: 5 draws.
