Don't miss out on your opportunity to compete in this year's events. We expect many of our profiled players to join us.
Full results from MSO 2
The second MSO was again held in London, at the Hammersmith, Novotel. This was a year when the all-rounders started to make in-roads into the games that they had not heard of before MSO 1. Indeed, Demis Hassabis and his brother George Hassabis were allowed to play simultaneous games and even tried to play every 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.
