A similar story in Washington where Sabrina's last round opponent is 18 points too low for a win to be enough for her final norm :cry:

Final round played early. Merry drew, Sanders lost, so no norms, but kudos to both English juniors for competing seriously for high results in such a strong tournament. At age 15-16 (Merry.already with one norm) and 13-14 (Sanders, confirming his excellent performance at Southend) both have good chances of progressing to the IM title in the next 1-3 years.
