Friday Night Polgar

Thanks to all those who played tonight.  The results are as follows...

U1350
​The U1350 event saw an excellent victory for FlatUpbeatFalcon, who despite somehow managing to avoid playing in the 3rd round (???) managed to win his other 3 games to finish with three points.  In second and third places were SillyLimit and LeftGroovyUnicorn.  Congratulations to SillyLimit on his best ever finish - very well played.  You can see his checkmate in Round 1 below in tonight's chess problem.
