Sixth Annual Lines of Action Tournament
Final Round

The tournament is over, won this year by uli with a perfect 7-0 record, followed by koichin 6-1.  

The players in this round consisted of the winner and runner-up from each section in the first round.  For complete details of the first round of play, see the Round-1 Page.     Play in the final round started on Jan 22, 2002 and effectively wrapped up at the end of May, 2002.  Time was limited to 10 weeks per player, which in the case of Ragnar was used to the fullest.  Ragnar promises to be faster next year, and thanks his opponents for not taking advantage of his time pressure at the end of the tournament.

Despite stricter time controls than in previous tournaments, this one ran the longest ever - a total of  8  months, and the last game in the final round was actually forfeited on time, with both players near the limit.   See game e34.

This year we also played a consolation round among some of the losers of the frist round who feel the need for a second chance. Ddyer won the consolation round with a 5-0 record, followed by mdecroos at 4-1.
