And you thought our tourneys took awhile to resolve....
A New Postal CC World Champion
A New Postal CC World Champion
How I love chess. It's the only game where a MP session lasts for years....It seems every few weeks we have a new CC world champion. This time it is from a postal CC tournament that started in 2004! The World Championship 20 Final champion is GM Pertti Lehikoinen from Finland. He scored 9 points out of 14 (+4 =10 –0). A fine result considering the level of his competition. Since this was a postal tournament, the games have not become available as of yet. From now on the finals will only be played as server tournaments. Three are ongoing at the moment (#24-26), and one of them will probably be decided later this year.
