The final round of the 69th Enea Polish Championships and 64th Budimex Polish Women's Championship brought a lot of excitement. In both tournaments play-offs were needed to determine the winners. Mateusz Bartel defeated Bartlomiej Maciej and won a hat-trick: the third title in a row. But before this could happen, the two leading players (with 6.0/8 points) both won their final round games in style, most impressively Matthew Bartel with dashing sacrifices of material for the attack.

Iweta Rajlich played two tiebreak games against Joanna Majdan-Gajewska, drew both, winning the title of Polish Women's Champion on a better tiebreak score.
Joanna Majdan-Gajewska defeated newcomer Malvina Chrzaszcz (don't try to pronounce it – apparently it translates to "beetle", probably the buzzing kind), while Iweta Rajlich, wife of the Rybka programmer Vasik, pinned her hopes on an attack in a rook ending a pawn down. She seemed unable to convert it to a win when her opponent made a fairly innocuous mistake which Iweta ruthlessly punished.
Gold for Iweta Rajlich, silver for Joanna Majdan-Gajewska, bronze for Jolanta
