The first day of the 2023 O2C Doeberl Cup saw the Premier play its first 2 rounds. There were a significant number of upset results, and by the end of the day, only 2 of the GM's in the event had maintained a perfect score. GM Daniel Fernandez drew with CM Hamish Bassig in the 1st round, while GM Temur Kuybokarov had a round 2 draw against FM Michael Kethro. GM Samy Shoker made it to 2/2 after beating Harry Press in the evening round, as did defending champion GM Hrant Melkumyan, who won against FM David Cannon.
Today will see the other tournament sections begin, with 400 players taking part. The addition of a new section (the Mini) seems to have encouraged for entries, as this tournament has a field of 100. Play begins at 1:00pm and spectators are welcome. The tournament is being played at the Canberra Southern Cross Club (Woden ACT), and runs until Monday 10th April.
