The 2023 Perth Open was held at North Woodvale Primary School (Perth Chess Club) on 11th and 12th February. Changes in the FIDE Rating Regulations, in effect from January 2022, mean that games between players rated below 2400 FIDE with a time control of 60 minutes plus 30 second increment per move can now be rated using FIDE Standard ratings. In response to these changes, the CAWA Council decided that from 2022 onwards, the Perth Open would be run as an ACF and FIDE rated event. Once again, in 2023 the longer time control and the advertised prize fund of $2,400 were successful in attracting a large field of 43 players, with all rating divisions being well represented. WA's top two players, GM Temur Kuybokarov and IM-elect Patrick Gong, shared 1st place with 5.5/6. Both Temur and Patrick gained some useful over-the-board preparation against some of WA's other top players. Congratulations to all of the prizewinners.

See also https://southernsuburbschessclub.org.au/Vega2023/www2023PerthOpen/ for more items of interest, such as FIDE rating variation. The changes that have been made to the running of the Perth Open, starting in 2022, may be just the first steps in a process that we hope will raise significantly the profile of this tournament. With continued support, the tournament may evolve into a major event on the Australian chess calendar. I thank the players, the CAWA Council, and everyone who has contributed to the renewed success of the Perth Open in 2022 and 2023.
