| Playoff |
Lukian Hushpit won the blitz (3' + 2") playoff 2-0 (via Craig DuBose (email, February 27, 2023)) |
| Discrepancies |
Lichess gave the results of O'Connell - Halpenny, Gould - O'Sullivan, and Donohoe - F. Armstrong, all round 3, as ½-½, 0-1, and 1-0 respectively, but the ICU ratings report and Chess-Results.com gave 1-0, 1-0, and ½-½ respectively. Eugene Donohoe (via message) confirms that the latter game was a draw. It is hard to see how Gould - O'Sullivan ended as 1-0, but this report adopts the ICU version. |
