Congrats to Bill Williams, and his strong showing during his 15 board simul at SWCC. Of particular note is his quick eye for sharp tactics

I believe it was 18 boards. What was the tally for the games.

Yes there were 18 boards. One player defeated Bill and another had a draw. Bill did very well in the simul.
