A Big CONGRATULATIONS to Chi Phan who tied with IM Leonid Sandler and IM Trevor Tao for first in this year’s Lidums Australian Allegro Championship. It was played for the first time at the Chess Centre instead of at Glenelg and attracted 50 players on a fairly hot Boxing Day.
Kyle Leaver looked to have it won when he beat Trevor Tao to lead the event at the end of Round 5 by a point but he lost the next game to Leonid and then in the last round to Chi. Chi lost only one game to IM Mark Chapman, while Leonid lost to just to Henry White, who had a great tournament to finish outright 4th.
Equal 1st: Chi Phan, IM Leonid Sandler, IM Trevor Tao
Under 1800 Rating: Henry White
Under 1500 Rating: Tom Loughlin
Under 1200 Rating: Thomas Roger
Unrated Prize: Misheck Muza & Dominic Newlands
