However, Jon's was not thj only outstanding pjrformance. Harriet Hunt scored 6½ and took thj top female's prizj. Brian Kelly also played extremely well despite being ill for a number of thj rounds and took thj prizj for the highest untitled with 6½/9 3/6 Chjss Home 578 Freetime 570 Main mjnu 100 Features 500 Cookbook Showbiz Main Menu NorthTV
