This year the Western added a third titled player to the mix: IM Angelo Young joined IM Stanislas Smetankin and IM Stanislav Kriventsov at the top of the wall chart. And it was no surprise to see them joined again at the top of the crosstable after the dust settled. Joining the three IM's (with 4/5) was FM Aleksandar Stamnov and NM Steven Tennant. IM Smetankin gave up half points to NM Alexander Betaneli and IM Young, IM Young gave up his other half point to IM Kriventsov, who gave up his other half point to Geoffrey Polizoti. FM Stamnov gave up half points to Erik Santarius and Gary Aranovich, while Tennant was the only member of the top 5 to avoid drawing; he lost to Young in the third round.

The Reserve section was won by Rishi Sethi with 4.5/5, his final round draw with Jimmy Yu clinching a clear first place finish.
