Australian Open 2006-2007

[Javier]

The Australian Open Chess Championship is taking place from the 28th December 2006 to 9th January 2007. Alongside the Australian Open will be a number of other chess tournaments. These are the Australian Open Major (Under 2000), the Australian Open Minor (Under 1600), The Australian Open Seniors (players aged 50 years and above), and the Australian Open Lightning Championship.

The tournament is being hosted by the Southern Cross Club located in Tuggeranong, Canberra, ACT.

 

The list of participants is shorter than the organizers expected, and the fact that there are 4 GMs (!!) taking part in the event does not seem to have attracted as much interest as was to be expected.

After round 3, these are the standings:

 

1  GM Johansen, Darryl K      VIC   2458 2467 3     19:W 30:W  9:W
2  GM Bluvshtein, Mark        OS    2541      3     55:W 17:W 12:W
3  GM Rogers, Ian             NSW   2526 2623 3     57:W 11:W 10:W
4  IM Zhao, Zong-Yuan         NSW   2455 2498 3     56:W 18:W 16:W
5  GM Antic, Dejan            OS    2437 2433 3     37:W 35:W 20:W
