Judges' Contest 3rd Place



So as I hinted, with a week left in the contest, pretty much everything is determined as FM Monokroussos is guaranteed to take the top spot, WGM Shahade and GM Shabalov are forced to take second and third (with Shahade almost certain to get second except for one circumstance where they will be tied), FM Young will take fourth, and FM Adamson will bring up the rear. Unfortunately, for myself not only did I not manage to win, I didn't even manage to beat out the other non-judge as FM Bournival is guaranteed to finish one point ahead of me. Here are the exact standings.


1st Place: Dennis Monokroussos (20, 13, 19, 18, 12, 17, 7, 11, 16, 14, 10, 9, 6, 3, 15, 2, 5, 1): 51 Points (Rankings Left: 4, 8; Guaranteed to finish with 60 Points)

2nd Place: Jennifer Shahade (18, 20, 8, 12, 17, 19, 5, 14, 16, 7, 10, 15, 11, 13, 9, 6, 4, 2): 61 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 3)

3rd Place: Alex Shabalov (20, 12, 16, 15, 17, 10, 18, 9, 13, 19, 4, 14, 11, 8, 3, 2, 7, 6): 61 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 5)

4th Place: Ron Young (20, 19, 13, 9, 7, 18, 14, 17, 11, 12, 15, 10, 1, 2, 8, 16, 6, 5): 66 Points (Rankings Left: 3, 4; Guaranteed to finish with 70 Points)

5th Place: Robby Adamson (20, 12, 19, 16, 17, 6, 18, 10, 5, 4, 14, 3, 15, 13, 1, 9, 7, 11): 83 Points (Rankings Left: 2, 8; Guaranteed to finish with 90 Points)


and the two non-judges,


Arun Sharma (20, 19, 18, 11, 12, 15, 5, 9, 13, 17, 16, 4, 6, 3, 2, 10, 7, 1): 61 Points (Rankings Left: 8, 14; Guaranteed to finish with 80 Points)

Braden Bournival (19, 20, 9, 17, 7, 4, 18, 14, 15, 16, 12, 11, 8, 13, 2, 1, 3, 10): 71 Points (Rankings Left: 5, 6; Guaranteed to finish with 79 Points)
