The Melbourne International Open has kicked of in Melbourne, with a strong field contesting the Masters Section. Three GM's are at the top of the field, and the median rating is around 2100. As with events of this type, not everything went according to rating, with a few draws, and a couple of upset wins for the lower rated players.
Alongside the Masters section is the Amateur section which attracted 87 players. Again there were a few upsets, but the top seeds seemed to do well enough.
Tomorrow is a double round day (9:30am, 3pm), followed by a single round day on Wednesday. The tournament website is https://melbourneio.com.au/ and from there you can find all the tournament results, as well as links to live coverage of the games.
