I want to say Jack (and Alan Merry) have won Jersey but given the above two posts is this correct? The ranking list has Alan with the better tie-break.

Round 9:
1 GM Hebden, M. L. (5) 2490 1 - 0 GM Speelman, J. (6) 2518
2 Klingher, D. (5) 2082 0 - 1 IM Merry, Alan B (6) 2414
3 Thalwitzer (5) 2114 0 - 1 IM Rudd, Jack (6) 2177

1-2 Merry, Rudd 7
3 Abbas 6½
4 Hebden, Hillarp Persson Tiger, Speelman, Jon S 67

Well done to Alan and Jack

Also Dan Abbas who gained 30 rating points; hopefully the IM norms will follow soon

This is all still sinking in. I can't really wrap my head around a 73-point rating gain.
