Time Control : 4 mins + 2 secs

Critter led much of the way , but Houdini rallied the last 10-15 games to win the tournament. The critical game came in the 97th round. After 96 games
Houdini 59.0
Critter 58.5

Critter had the white pieces in a Sicilian........ it was a long maneuvering game which led to a lengthy endgame win for Houdini.
