North Island Championship 2009

Monday, April 20th, 2009 | News

Over Easter the North Island Championship was held in Wellington and several members of ACC entered. The total field was 31 players in a single 8 round swiss with a 90m+30s time control.

The event was quite strong with 12 players rated over 2000 and only 6 players (3 from ACC) under 1500. Due to the odd number of entrants several ACC players got 1 point byes.

Results for ACC players were:

  • Mike Steadman came 3rd overall on 6 points
  • Nathan Goodhue came 5th equal and 1st equal in “B” grade with 5 points
  • Simon Lyall was 14th equal on 4 points
  • Neil Cruden was 21st equal on 3.5 points
  • Han Gao was 26th equal on 3 points
