   Maybe due to it being the first year for this game it didn’t get as much attention. That’s a shame as it was a very good game, and it had a lot of very good players participating in it.

   There are now photos from this game added to this site’s photo gallery for 2010. The photo gallery can be found by clicking on ‘multimedia’ at the top of this page.
