Manitoba usually finishes no worse than 5th - but were edged out this year for 5th by the hosts.
It looks like Derek Ma may have tied for 3rd in Grade 8.

2016 Gibraltar Challengers B - Round 1
I played a young fourteen year-old Norwegian fellow, Daniel Nordquelle, rated 2102.
(He had a rougher time than me, ELO-wise, dropping 50 points in Challengers A, forty points in the Masters, and 37 in the Challengers B. But his K=40, so, will gain those points back with a few wins here and there.)
The game was quite double-edged, but I prematurely pushed my h-pawn and eventually lost it.
