2010 Australian Championship - Canberra players impress

I was planning to comment on the Australian Championship every few days or so, but the round 2 results mean that I will comment for a third day in a row. Having given the three ACT competitors a big plug for their 2.5/3 start yesterday, they did even better today, scoring 3/3.
Junta Ikeda defeated last years Australian Open winner IM Aleks Wohl in an interesting game. (When my son saw the pairings this morning he simply said "Junta will win"). Andrew Brown downed his second IM in row with a win over the defending Australian Champion, IM Stephen Solomon. And Yi Yuan moved up to 1.5/2 with a win over Laurence Matheson.
Challenging parings await all three tomorrow, with Ikeda up against GM Zong Yuan Zhao, Brown playing GM Darryl Johansen, and Yuan paired with IM Aleks Wohl.
