Queenstown International 2012 - Round 3

The third round of the 2012 Queenstown International has been completed, and there are still 13 players on a perfect score. Top seed Li Chao defeated Canberra FM Junta Ikeda in a game where 1 wasted tempo made a significant difference. On the second board GM Gawain Jones drew with IM James Morris, while GM Sune Berg Hansen scored the same result against WGM Irene Sukandar. Two young Australian players scored upset victories to join the leaders with Pengyu Chen winning against IM Herman Van Riemdisjk and Chris Wallis beating GM Kivanc Haznedaroglu. Also joining them on 3/3 is Max Illingworth who had a nice win over WGM Nadig Kruttika. Full results for the event can be found at chess-results.com, while live games and blogging can be found at the tournament website.

Ban me? Are we living in the Soviet Union? Ban me and I will still probably be playing chess here. You probably know me! I exist, I ask good questions don't I?
What happened to Guy West today? A draw against a minor club player almost 300 rating points lower than he! He should be cleaning these people up, that's what!
Another point I would like to make is that the New Zealand players seem to be around 350 rating points over rated compared to the "Aussies".
Carn Australia!
