The 2021 O2C Doeberl Cup premier begins tomorrow, with Rd's 1 and 2 of the Premier being played. The pairings for the first round are available at http://chess-results.com/tnr551239.aspx?lan=1 One of the top seeds, GM Anton Smirnov, will definitely be off to a slower start, as he has to take a half point bye in the first round due to a University exam. But it looks as though he isn't the only one, as a number of players are missing rounds on the first day.
The Major, Minor and Under 1200 events will start on Friday. There is live coverage of the top boards on chess24.com, starting at 1:30pm tomorrow. GM Ian Rogers is doing live commentary at the venue (Southern Cross Club, Woden), with the evening session the best time to watch.
