Anzac Day Rapid Results
0
The club had a great tournament ANZAC day with a total or 26 players turning out for the rapid. There was a strong field with six players rated at over 1800, including FIDE Master Ben Hague contending for the open day prizes.
Despite apparent limited early interest by juniors, there was a good turnout of youngsters registering on the day with six vying for the under 12/under 1200 rating grade prize. Scott is currently in Australia but Ian Kennedy managed to fill his shoes as Director Of Play and things went smoothly, on time, and without a hitch. The prizes awarded were:
| Daniel Gong | Best Under 12/Under 1200 | 4 | |
| Graham Nolan | Best Under 1500 | 4.5 | |
| William Crombie | Best Under 1800 | 4.5 | (On tiebreak) |
