The Valentine's One Day Rapid Play tournament (ACF Quick rated) was held at the North Woodvale Primary School on 14th February. There were two divisions, Open and Under 1400 and six rounds, (time limit 25 minutes plus 10 second increments). The Open division consisted of 9 players. Rebo got off to a good start and after five rounds he had an unassailable lead of 4.5 points. He lost the last round to Saminda, but still finished in first place. Second place was a closely contested affair and was eventually shared by Derek, Iker, Ned, and Saminda. Iker's performance in this tournament was particularly good considering his much lower rating. The Under 1400 division consisting of 13 players was closely contested with the lead changing hands several times. A strong start by Anthony Miner and Virudhagiri Muruganandam meant that after three rounds they were sharing the lead. However, fortunes changed and going into the last round the key game was between Herbert Cadag and Niels Hansen. Niels won and secured first place. Second place depended on the last round game between Anthony and Eric Deng. Eric won and secured second place, (a good performance from the Under 8 Junior State Champion). The prize winners were: Open Division 1st: Yihe (Rebo) Fu (4.5), =2nd: Derek Elkington, Iker Hernandez Mendez, Nedeljko Tomic & Saminda De Vas (4.0) Under 1400 1st: Niels Hansen (5.0), 2nd: Eric Deng (4.5), =3rd: Herbert Cadag & Celine Ong (4.0) Special thanks to Andrew Hardegen who helped me set up the Vega files for the tournament and to Dylan Gough who provided invaluable assistance during the tournament.
