Subject: Lines of Action World Championship 2014
The official world championship took place at the annual Mind Sports Olympiad (www.msoworld.com) on August 20th 2014.

There were 14 players representing (if memory serves):
* England
* Estonia
* South Africa
* Italy

Play was over 6 rounds with 25 min + 5 seconds-per-move. This was a great time control and resulted in a relaxing tournament with high quality games. Sadly, games were not recorded but the organisers hope to record the top or top two boards next year.

The results were:
G Alain Dekker (South Africa)
S Andres Kuusk (Estonia)
B Martyn Hamer (England)

Alain and Andres both scored 5/6, Alain winning the tie-break having beaten Andres in their individual game. There was a 4-way tie-break for Bronze on 4/6, with Martyn wining the tie-break having the best result among common opponents.

There was a generous cash prize fund this year (G=£100, S=£50, B=£25, prizes split in the result of a tie on score). The organisers have committed to at least match the prize fund for next year, so hope to see many players for the event next year.
