Castlehill had four players playing in the Oban Congress.
OPEN: 26 entries
Rishi Vijayakumar FM (2252), seeded 4th. By Rishi`s standards, not his best performance, finishing on 3 points, in equal 6th place, with a TPR of 2108. In other words, Rishi is taking a nap to conserve his energy for his next big tournament breakthrough!

Andre Babin (1904), seeded 16th. In a strong field, Andre more than held his own, finishing on 2 points, and equal 17th place with a TPR of 1904! Maybe they need to change that saying, and instead of Eddie, it`s Steady Andre!
