The return of online chess events in Canberra saw some exciting chess played. Fred Litchfield had a nice tactical win against the Dragon, while Mark Hummel wheeled out the Traxler to great effect. Playing Max Albert in the last round, both players seemed a little unsure of what theory was, and there were a few inexact moves. In an effort to free up some of his pieces, Hummel decided to take his king for a walk, and it was at this point Albert missed a crushing move (19. Nc3!). Instead he threatened mate in 1, but as in a lot of Traxler games, it was Black who mated first.
