The 2007 Vikings Weekender has attracted a good field of 48 players, both good in numbers, and good in strength and temperament.Top seed for the event is Sydney IM George Xie, although the second seed, Endre Ambrus (pictured playing Carl Nater, Endre on the left), is the player most other competitors are watching. A recent arrival to Canberra (from Rumania), Endre had a FIDE rating of 2400, although for some reason he is currently on the FIDE list as an unrated player (investigations into this are continuing).
Other strong players in the tournament include juniors Junta Ikeda and Max Illingworth, as well as Sydney journeyman, Johnny Bolens.
After the first 3 rounds 4 of the top 5 seeds are on perfect scores, with Illingworth the only player in that group to drop half a point (to Milan Grcic). Alongside Grcic and Illingworth on 2.5, are Megan Setiabudi and Justin Tan.
Round 4 will see a lot of close matchups as players have almost all found their level, although separating 48 players in a 6 round swiss is always a difficult task.
Crosstable after Round 3 can be found in the comments section.
