This year's event was the strongest Closed Championship to be held in WA for quite a few years. Moreover, with 34 players, it was the best attended WA Championship for at least 10 years. My thanks go to all of you for playing and to everyone who contributed to the success of this year's Championships, especially: Leeming Primary School, for making their venue available for us to use at a generously discounted rate for the 7-week duration of the tournament; Chess Association of WA, for sponsoring the WA Chess Championships prize pool to the tune of approximately $1,000 each year; CAWA President Alan Wolstencroft, for providing players with milk and biscuits each week, which were well received, and for replenishing the club's tea and coffee supplies whenever we ran short of anything, as well as plenty of other work behind the scenes; The dedicated parents, for bringing their children to the tournament and picking them up every week, and in many instances, having to wait long periods of time for games to finish; The many players who arrived early and stayed late each week to help set up and pack away chess equipment and furniture. The tournaments will be submitted for FIDE and ACF rating. Three players in the WA Reserves Championship -- Dylan Gough, Malindu Premaratna, and Kundan Dharmapuri -- will gain their first FIDE ratings from this tournament. There will be two playoff matches. These will be held at Perth's three main senior clubs on weeknights, over the next two weeks. Well done to all of the following winners (playoffs pending). Perpetual trophies will be awarded at the CAWA Harris Interclub Competition, to be played on Sundays 28th July and 4th August. 2019 WA Closed Championship =1st: FM Tristan Boyd & Ihsan Ferozkohi (5.0/7) -- a 2-game playoff will be held between Tristan and Ihsan, for the title of 2019 WA Chess Champion.
