Jones finished on 5.5/7, half a point ahead of William Lynn, who earned the title of New Zealand Seniors Champion. Jones was undefeated, scoring 4 wins and 3 draws, with a quick last round draw with Lynn earning titles for both players.
One of the key games was played at the halfway point of the tournament, with Jones up against fellow Australian David Lovejoy. Jones decided to meet the Kings Indian with a Four Pawns attack, and the following hack ensued.

love the 4 pawns attack :)
Ah Shaun, you should have given 17...Qc7 a question mark, as Brian and I analysed 17...Rac8 (followed by Nc5) as fairly level.
isn't 2070 a bit low for a "FM", you sure that is an offical title ?
