Tournament Review

The pairings Nievergelt–Grob and Calà–Kupper were postponed to the last round for colour-allocation reasons. Grob led before that round, but his loss and Kupper’s win reversed the top two places. The final round was played on Saturday 24 July; the event period includes the closing day.
