Full results from MSO 1

After long preparation the first ever Mind Sports Olympiad occured at the Royal Festival Hall in London. This was when the Pentamind was in its infancy and very few players even had an eligible 5 events. By MSO 2 lots of players were trying out new games that they had heard of in this year.

There were even medal ceremonies with flags and national anthems, although this idea was short lived but who knows what will happen in the future? However, we are fairly sure that Computer Programming won't be coming back as an event!

To review the result by event you can either go to results by year or use the link in each table. Information about the players can be found by simply clicking on the names in the table.
