Wellington Open - Final Results and Standings

Anthony Ker and Scott Wastney shared top spot on 5/6 at the end of the Easter Wellington Open which finished today. Anthony has a slightly higher sum of opponents' scores, if there is a tie-break. B grade title shared by John Duneas, Alan Aldridge, William Forster, Ross Jackson and Fuatai Fuatai. C grade title taken outright by Du Plessis père, who got the same score as the top B graders, 3 1/2.
Junior title was taken (again) by Daniel Baider, who to me was the real star of this tournament.
Overall the tournament was well organised, and played with such generosity of spirit and good humour that it made me proud to be a chessplayer! (even though I wasn't playing.) Congratulations to all who took part in a great contest. I hope to get some photos of the event to publish in the next few days.
