A strong finish, with both of our representatives winning in the last round.
Joint Scottish Senior Champion Phil Giulian beat an IM in the last round to finish on 6/9 (=10th) with a tournament performance rating of 2271 (from a starting rank of 22nd).
Ian Marks also won to finish on 4.5/9 (=49th) and a tournament performance rating of 2065 (from a starting rank of 68th) and after a similarly strong showing in the Scottish his FIDE rating is set to climb.
103 players from all over Europe, including many GMs, IMs and FMs, competed.
Well done to both!
