we'll find out who it is in a few minutes when Loz posts the results. They are Dutch so maybe Yichen Han?

The username suggests Matthew Sadler to me.

Correct. Peter Svidler was also in the field. It's not very often I can boast playing Mathew Sadler ( loss) Marcus Harvey ( draw), Ameer Ghasi ( draw), Jonah Willow (draw) , Loz Cooper ( win) and Shreyas Royal ( win ) all in a row in online blitz, (and then find that my 6.5/9 is only enough for 4th = ( 6th on tiebreak).
