Today was the last day of the 2008 ANU Chess Festival. The ANU Primary Schools Championship was won by Radford Primary, on countback from Kaleen Red after both teams scored 22.5/28. Just half a point behind them in third place was Curtin Zhao on 22. (Curtin named their teams after current Australian Olympiad players!).
Yesterday was the High Schools/Colleges Championship and Canberra Grammar won for the first time ever, with the imaginatively named Canberra High Chess-T Pawn Stars in second, with Radford Chess Chicks edging Alfred Deakin Asparagus for third on countback.
This years chess festival was one of the most successful held, with numbers well up for the ANU Open, the simul attracting plenty of interest and the Schools events attracting 55 teams over the 2 days. Credit to all those who took part, and especially all those who assisted, but rather than risk trying to name everyone, and leaving someone out, I will simply say that it wouldn't have happened without the hard work of Festival Director, Shun Ikeda. So thanks to him, and through him, to all those involved.
