Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 9, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    This contest had by far the best standard of entries of any I have judged or seen. ALL entries were excellent, and judging was extremely difficult. I suppose this is because chess is a game that attracts intelligent people. apart from the prize-winners, I will be distributing my remaining points among the rest, who all deserve either prizes of honourable mentions. Thank you all and congratulations for making this for me, the best contest yet!
