Congratulations to International Master @maestroask, who was fighting hard and eventually got the deserved first place today. He achieved that by going 15 games unbeaten with his only draw against @poseout87. I believe this qualifies him for @sammy’s unbeaten prize

@dalods came second after being first for a very good amount of time during the event. @zlater who has been away for a long time came 3rd surprisingly.
