2017 Perth Open

Played at Leeming Primary School on the 18th and 19th of February.


28 players participated including newcomers to the chess community from Queensland and Brazil. The event occurred over a very hot weekend and in a friendly atmosphere. All players seemed to have an enjoyable time and the tournament was very easy to manage for a playing DOP.
