2016 Christmas Open


The Christmas Open was held on Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th December at Wesley College attracting 42 players and enabling visitors from interstate, here for the National Schools'Teams Finals, to stay on and take part in our last wekend tournament of the year and win some prizemoney.
Apart from the odd noises coming out of an air conditioning unit, the venue was more than adequate and the school staff very helpful, in particular Anna Hardy who made sure we had everything we needed to run a smooth trouble free tournament. There were no disputes and no withdrawals and I'm sure the tournament was enjoyed by all who took part.

Prizelist:

Equal 1st Open: Tristan Boyd WA & Ari Dale VIC, 3rd: David Cannon VIC

Equal 1st U/1900: Anurag Sannidhanam VIC & George Carolin-Unkovich WA

Equal 1st U/1750: James Kay QLD & Andrey Lugovskoy WA

1st U/1000 & unrated: Eason Wang QLD, Equal 2nd U/1000 and unrated: Victor Sun WA & Melody Yang QLD

Syakir Shazmeer came in as an unrated player, ending up in fifth place overall but was found to have a FIDE rating above 2000 and as such was not eligible for the unrated prize.
