      Rd 6 Anthony Atanasov used the power of his two bishops and the open G - file to engineer a winning breakthru.

        Rd 6 Maili-Jade Ouellet met stiff opposition with an acceleration of tactics and finally broke open the king's position.

            The event is just wrapping up.
            Standings will be at https://s1.chess-results.com/tnr1380...&rd=9&SNode=S0

            First tie-breaker is head to head. I am not sure how that works with multiple players tied for first and them having played different opponents.

                The Women's Championship saw Maili Jade Ouellet dominating with an almost perfect score 8.5 out of 9!

                Second was Yunshan Li with 7 - she had the only draw against MJ Ouellet.

                Third was Svitlana Demchenko, also with 7.

                    Second was IM Anthony Atanasov. He won clutch games (I assume because I haven't seen the games) against Raja Panjwani and in the last round against Nikolay Noritsyn.

                    Third was IM Krishna, noteworthy that he was undefeated.

                      Raja Panjwani was so close. He finished with 6.5, a half point behind.

                        Another great result was Victor Plotkin, also with 6.5.

                          Svitlana Demchenko had a beautiful finish against Yunshan Li in the last round.

                            Question: Does FM Victor Plotkin gain the IM title with this result? He made 6/9, which is two-thirds percentage.

                              IM title is only for 1st equal, Sir.

                                1. I finished with 6.5/9.

                                2. Equal 1st makes direct IM title, which required 7/9 in this Zonal.

                                3. Win in the last round against Raja would have earned direct IM title. I had some opening advantage, but never had a really winning position.

                                Many players got direct FM and CM (WFM and WCM in Women Zonal) titles. I will send many title requests after the next rating update tomorrow.
