ACT Chess Championships

The 2010 ACT Chess Championships concluded today. I would like to congratulate Andrey Bliznyuk for winning the title ahead of Junta Ikeda in second place and a four way tie for third. Junta led going in to the last round by 1/2 a point from Andrey, but Junta suffered his only loss of the tournament and was thus overtaken by Andrey who had a last round win.

The event was held over two weekends, and I decided not to play so that I could spend more time training for my ironman triathlon (more on that later). I am still playing in the ANU Masters tournament every Wednesday night, and it is just my luck that this Wednesday I have to play the newly crowned ACT Champion himself - Andrey.
