Congratulations to GM Darryl Johansen winning the 2007 Nelson Open in Nelson, New Zealand. Johansen scored 7.5/9 finishing ahead of a 46 player field which included fellow GM's Murray Chandler and Stuart Conquest, as well as IM's Stephen Solomon and Russell Dive. Full results can be found by clicking on the 2007 Nelson Open link at http://www.chess.org.nz/
GM Ian Rogers has a good write up of the tournament in today's Canberra Times, in which he partly attributes Johansen's return to form to an improved fitness regime.
Here is a game between the equal second place finishers, GM's Chandler and Conquest.
