Congratulations to Petter Bengtsson whose fine score of 790 topped several goodefforts by readers. Petter wins a free 1-year subscription to GammOnLine,and will be invited to join our expert panel for next month. The readerswere definitely in tune with the panel this month, as they agreed on thetop choice on 7 of the 8 problems and were very close on the one theydiffered. Looks like I'll have to come up with harder problems.

Below is a list of the scores of the panelists and readers, andthe cumulative votes of the readers for each problem.
