Lucette gets her name on the trophy for the third time and the Lady's prize to boot.  Congratulations.

Paul Leblanc wins the tournament.  The trophy goes back to Victoria for another year after spending the last year in Courtenay.  Paul also takes home the tournament pieces and wooden board from Legend Chess Products.

See you all in Bowser next year.
