              "May" - strange word choice! 'May' is used in benedictions such as - "May you live long and prosper!"
              .....Or in curses such as - "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!"
              You no doubt mean 'could I'? (doubtful) or 'would I'? (unlikely)
              Egis, you are probably thinking in Dutch and then translating into English - yes?
              Someone once told me the phrase "Throw Papa's hat down the stairs." - if said in Dutch goes like -
              "Throw Papa down the stairs his hat." Is that not so? :D

                      I heard there were issues with reading the results, so I have put together the standings in an easier to digest format.

                        Thnx for a new crosstable.

                        I heard good stories about the Saturday tournament on Sunday. Bator demonstrated his one win (really two but other game was from a different tournament though on the same chess theme). Hans was reminded of his youth about winning A prizes :)

                          Thanks for posting that David. Vlad had sent me the original pdf and I managed to squeeze it so that it would pass the ChessTalk file upload limit (21Kb or so?).
                          pdf files are not amenable to reorganization or editing (in general) so I am happy to see an alternative post with the results in final score/position order.

                            Yes I had an awesome time. It wasnt just the chess. (what?? - whats wrong with me?) it was encounters with special people and the special atmosphere. Strategy Games - love those playing boards by the way. Sponsors supplying great snacks! (wings were more than decent). Laura in customer service was perceptive, charming, and read people very well - addressing needs almost before they arose. She even fooled me into believing she knew chess well although as she explained she just read people well. (I sense Francis hand in this - so thankyou Francis!) Its worth a visit to Strategy Games just to meet her. Chatting to Peter Murray one anecdote after another - I encouraged him to blog about his experiences. Sasha also had wonderful stories - about the legendary Yuchtman - giving strong masters piece odds - the legndary Kogan being Nava's teacher - anecdotes about the two of them first meeting which I wont share. Sasha you should also write your stories - they would be the best of chess culture. Nava is playing on the Olympic Team breaking her own record for times played and with Sasha is not only going to beautiful Norway but also a mini tour of Denamark and Sweden as well. Im envious. Im sure the two of them will have memorable experiences. I won the A prize. Peter asked: when is the last time you won an A prize. Answer its been more than 35 yrs. Afterwards me and Vlad went for refreshments. I wont say much about the good time we had but it was so gripping I missed my bus and also Vlad is modest and a realist but I will also add that with the ideas he has come up with the man is a genius. Thanks Vlad for all the organising you do - Toronto chess is lucky to have you. Thanks to all the anonymous sponsors who were rewarded by an awesome field of players.

                              2nd - 5th: Artiom Samsonkin, Razvan Preotu, Shiyam Tavandiran, Michael Barron 4 - 1
                              Top Woman: Nava Starr 2 1/2 points
                              A Prize: Hans Jung 2 1/2 points

                              C Prize: Jacob Stein 2 points

                              Excellent turnout with 11 players rated over 2400 !

                              Yes, it was very strong! Even with a perf of 2413 (400 points above my rating) I was sniffed out of winning the B Prize!
                              If only my rating was higher I could have split the A Prize with the venerable Hans Jung :D

                              Thanks to everyone, especially the sponsors! That chicken bbq pizza was a treat!
