-
All norms were for 9
rounds total and were
achieved in Division 1.
-
Zoe's round 10 and 11
games did not form part
of her norm, it was
achieved after her Rd.9
draw.
-
Richard achieved his
norm in Rd.10 which was
banked, his Rd.11 game
was an attempt to gain a
slightly improved norm
(he needed to win but
could only achieve a
draw).
-
All these players
reached the target score
exactly (i.e. the GM
norms were all must
wins, and Zoe only
needed a draw).
Those looking at the games
of norm achievers may want
to look at Richard's round
10 game against Samuel Chow,
in particular 20.Bxe6!
offering a queen sacrifice,
and Svyatoslav's final game
against Nicholas Pert which
featured a rather dramatic
twist at the end - their
other games may also be
interesting but I haven't
checked them.
