## Round 7. People's Champ

In the last round i faced the leader who is 1 point ahead the rest so my options was win this game and hope that the tiebreaks benefits me cause in the second board both players had my points and i have the worst tiebreak entering into the last round. But i just should won and the rest is not my job so lets see the game.

I made my job very well and all my opponents won in the last round but i finished half point on tiebreaks behind the guy that i crush in the last round. I beat the champion but ok i deserved the second place by my lost in the fourth round.
