Congratulations to the Home grown talent that took out the major placings in the Doeberl this year! Congratulations to Rogers on winning another Doeberl Crown. There was some very interesting chess played by the grandmaster. Especially his game against IM Solomon (who came equal second with Smerdon and Lane). The Closet GM and Shaun Press cover the tournament well so i won't say much more other than that I was lucky to get second.
The first round of the SIO started today. I rocked up just before the opening ceremony started as I had other things to do earlier in the day. The Parramatta Town hall seems to be a cozy set up with plenty of room between the aisles of seats which is good for those overly swolen people.
LOL.
Anyhow The first round went much to ratings except for New Zealands Vivian Smith (1742) defeating Malcolm Tredinnik (2205). Upset draws occured between Joshua Christensen against Ariane Caoili in an interesting Queens Gambit Declined, Blair Mandla against Neil Wright, Fedja Zulfic against Domagoj Dragicevic, Anthony Lo against Paloma Gutierrez-Castillo, Carla Wettstein against Contreras Nelson Munoz, Johnathan Ren against Jens Boe Hornsgaard, and Northern Territory's Mario Aisa drew against Indian Kumar Saha Attum.
Now I'm going to be a little cheeky here and subtitle this:
Hu's been a naughty boy then?
Apparently someone has been knocking people about. First Arthur Huynh using a walking frame thing due to some sort of foot injury and then apparently today someone had been kicking assistant to the arbiters Nick Chernih in the somewhere but Nick fought off Huever the person was. I wonder Hu it was??? ROTFL be nice!!!
OK i'll blog tomorrow. bye!!!
