Summer in Europe

GM Ian Rogers had a big write up in Sundays Canberra Times on Tomek Rej's European chess tour. Rej, from Sydney, scored his third IM norm at the O2C Doeberl Cup earlier this year. However his rating is still below the 2400 mark to confirm the IM title, so he is playing a few events in the European summer to try and gain the required rating points.
In the Najdorf Memorial tournament in Poland he got off to a spectacular start with 3.5/4, including a win over GM Krzysztof Jakubowski and draw with second seed GM Bartek Macieja. His win over Jakubowski included a tactical trick that the tournament bulletins described as "satanic".
Also doing well is South Australian Andrew Saint who is leading the 'C' tournament at Biel with a perfect 4/4.
