The 2022 ACT Championship began this evening, with almost all games going to the ratings favourite. The only upset was a win by unrated Muhammad Yunus over veteran player Thomas Mautner. On the top boards, some players had to work a little harder to secure the point, but all eventually did so.
Tomorrow mornings second round will see some closer contests on all boards. The top seeds are likely to face experienced Canberra club stalwarts, while the middle group of players on half a point will be looking to kick start their campaign with a win.
The top 4 boards for this event are being broadcast live. You can find the link to the broadcast, as well as the tournament results and pairings at http://tournaments.streetchess.net/actchampionship2022/
