Max Kershaw was a professional and friendly arbiter and did a great job from round 1 to round 6! He only had two illegal moves to attend to throughout the whole event – with Scott Hoens involved in both, getting 2 minutes once and giving 2 minutes to his opponent once. David Esmonde from Aunix once again telecast the top eight boards of the entire 6 rounds on 15 minute delay and it worked a treat. Brodie McClymont said he was dead lost in his round 3 game against Craig Stewart’s 1g4 so that game could be well worth replaying. Of course, eleven year old Eason Wang’s R2 draw with IM Stephen Solomon is a must see! Stephen said Eason played the Vienna Opening very well and was better throughout the whole game! Stephen did produce some of his famous endgame magic to defeat the impressive Majid Jabur in R4 though!
