Final 4NCL Weekend 25-26 Photos - by Dennis Dicen

 

Norms achieved:

Sergey Korshunov - 10 round IM norm (required a win in Rd.10 and got it)

Lorenzo Fava - 9 round IM norm (required a draw in Rd.11 and won)

 

Near misses:

Max Turner - needed a win in Rd.11 for an IM norm and lost

James Jackson - needed a win in Rd.11 for a GM norm and drew

Adam Nawalaniec - for an IM norm: needed a win in Rd.9 and drew, needed a win in Rd.10 and lost to lose all chances (a draw would have meant a win was enough in Rd.11)

Tom O'Gorman - for a GM norm needed either 2.0/3 or 2.5/3 in the final weekend depending on opponents, drew in Rd.9 and lost in Rd.10 to lose chances

Marcus Harvey - needed to likely go 3.0/3 for a GM norm, won in Rd.9 but drew in Rd.10

 

Honourable mention:

Daniel Gallagher (Div.2) - TPR of 2443 across the season (highest in Div.2), would have been in IM norm contention had he played a third IM during the season.
