No Short Draws at Sydney International Open!

In a meeting yesterday it was decided that there would be no short draws without the approval of the arbiter. 30 is the minimum of moves that must be made in the Sydney International Open. Excellent Idea guys!!! Bring the good chess on.

I also like their ruling that no electronic devices are to be brought into the playing hall including mobile phones.

The Sydney International Open currently has 9 Grandmasters, 8 international masters, 4 Fide Masters, 1 Women's Grandmaster, 1 Womens international Master and one Women's Fide Masters currently entered into the tournament. Three months out there are currently 39 players.
