FM Reyaansh Chakrabarty is the new Australian Junior Champion winning with a score of 8/9. Tied for 2nd were CM Joel Leong and FM Yifei Hu on 6.5. Going into the final round he held a half point lead over Leong, but a loss for Leong and a win for Chakrabarty widened the gap at the top.
While some players were fighting for final placings, there were a number of other interesting games between players looking to improve there final score. Larry Cheng was involved in one such game albeit on the losing side. There were also some good games in the Under 16 event (won by CM Micah Young with 8.5/9!) which can be found on the tournaments Lichess link.
