May 100$ tournament is over. 15 players participated in it, including 2 non-russian players. I hope in future we'll have a more international format.

Final standings:

Since all games were played even, Happylook 5d, Pugovka 4d and  quaigon 4d were the main favorites to win the tournament.

Round 1.

Shaper 1d challenged quaigon 4d and unexpectedly won the game. He was even surprised himself that he managed to defeat a 4d players.

Round 2.

Most exciting game was between balabala [-] and SH1NIGAMI 3d. The result of the game was decided in the big semiai fight, SH1NIGAMI's group eventually had more liberties and he won the game.

Round 3.

Shaper 1d who already unexpectedly defeated a 4d player, now had even more serious player, HappyLook 5d. After big fight in the middle game, Shaper 1d managed to capture big white group for 50 points! But the game was far from being over. White got some compensation and managed to enclose big territory on the bottom. White had a little advantage and the result of the game should had been decided in yose. But Shaper 1d made a blunder maybe due to a time pressure and Happylook 5d advanced to finals.

Finals.

It turned out, that Happylook 5d and Pugovka 4d are married couple and they both made it to finals. The victory was awarded to Pugovka 4d and main prize of the tournament 100$ was transferred to her accordingly.
