Julian Mazur Memorial Round 1

We have 35 starters for the Julian Mazur Memorial, the biggest tournament we've had for a while - thanks to you all for taking part.
It's an Open Swiss, so you generally expect to get fairly one-sided games in round 1. The lower half of the table didn't take it lying down though, and one of them, Alok Pandey, managed a win. He defeated the number 4 seed, when Brian Nijman relaxed his guard in basically a won position and allowed a lightning attack on his king. Congratulations Alok!

Here are the results:
