Tournament review

SO Kavalas won all seven matches (14 MP), ahead of OFI (12) and Evoiki ES (10).


Best board results

The organizer announced three prizes per board: Elo performance (minimum four games), then wins, then fewer games. The board-list annotation instead names game points as the second criterion. It assigns the most-played board (ties: lower board number) and excludes forfeits. Award calculation remains disabled pending reconciliation of this conflict and the performance differences between the current PGN and the published table.
