Further to part 1 of this report, the transcription work is now completed for all 60 matches together with detailed analysis with XG. The overall results are shown on the following table.
As reported previously, Gaz Owen won the PR prize with a tremendous score of 3.14, with Julian Fetterlein taking the runner-up position with an excellent 3.74. In the fourth BMAB (UK) tournament in August last year, Julian had achieved an astonishing PR of 3.01). Both players have achieved Grandmaster (Class 3) titles by virtue of excellent performances at this and previous BMAB (UK) tournaments. Congratulations to Julian and Gaz for reaching this prestigious level.
Tim Cross achieved the third best PR with 4.65, reducing his aggregate score to 4.84, moving him ever closer to the Master (Class 1) level. Sebastian Wilkinson, with his PR of 4.81, in 4th place, maintains his consistently high level of performance.

Alastair Woods, Julian Minwalla and Julia Hayward also earned upgrades to Master (Class 3), Advanced (Class2) and Advanced (Class 3) respectively. Congratulations to all these players for their significant achievements.
