2019 Kingsley Open


The Kingsley Open (WA Grand Prix event, played 9-10 November) had a dissapointingly small field but it did include two former state champions and the current WA womens' champion. The final round's last two games to finish involved all four players vying for the top prizes. Ian McAteer brought off a spectacular finish to defeat Albany's Gary Donaldson while WFM Kathryn Hardegen secured a marathon win against junior Jamie Laubbacher with R + p vs R.

Results: 1st Kathryn Hardegen 5/6, 2nd Ian McAteer 4.5: Under 1600 1st= Jamie Laubaccher and Gary Donaldson 3pts. An encouragement award went to eight year old Emily Zhang who won two of her six games.
