Tomek Rej needs to obtain at least half a point from Gary Lane in the final round of the Sydney international Open in order to obtain an International Masters norm. Tomek will have the white pieces. Gareth Oliver only needs a draw against Moulthun Ly in order to obtain an International Master norm.
It was originally thought that Sam Chow would be inelligible for the chance to obtain an IM norm but nope some people forgot that The WIM title of Laura Moylan counted as part of the required titled players. Sam Chow will play Tejas Bakre and will need to win to obtain the norm.
