Charles Warburton Centenary Memorial Tournament
This 15-man ICCF international event started in July 2009 and the winner has just been confirmed. It is Panu Laine of Finland, who scored 101⁄2/14 with IM and SIM Norms. Congratulations to Panu! We are very fortunate that Panu has already annotated some games for this magazine and I hope he will look at some of his games from this tournament in a future issue. There is still 1 game remaining in the tournament but it will not affect the major placings.
