The second round of the ANU Open saw a number of exciting games, and an increased number of upsets. While the biggest upset was Andrew Brown's defeat of Jesse Sales, the most interesting one was the win by ACF Olympiad selector Ian Rout over Olympiad selectee Arianne Caoili. In a rook and pawn ending Ian showed exemplary technique to exchange off the pawns to reach the well known Lucena Position, which he converted without difficulty.
Most of the other top seeds escaped unscathed, although Junta Ikeda was held to a draw by Andrey Bliznyuk.
In the Minor 13 players reached 2/2. Crosstables for both events can be found in the comments section (NB The formatting there is pretty terrible!)
