The traditional end of year Canberra chess event, the ACT Rapidplay Championship, is on again this coming Saturday. Last years event was very popular (42 players) with Junta Ikeda narrowly beating out GM David Smerdon for the title. For those who haven't played this before the venue is outdoors in City Walk (opposite Chicken Gourmet/ King O'Malley's) and if the weather is fine, it makes a glorious setting for a chess tournament.
