Surtees won a good game despite the unusual opening variation.

Lots of grading prizes, but only two main prizes for each section. In Opens run in parallel with lots of lower sections, isn't it better to just have more prizes for "the runners up"? So reward players who scored 4 points to a greater extent than those who scored 3.5.

Only one women's prize handed out in the whole event?

From a quick skim through the entry list, it looks like there were only about a dozen women playing in the congress.
