2018 Gufeld Cup


The 2018 Gufeld Cup was held on the weekend of 8th and 9th September.

The field of 14 participants was relatively small, but also relatively strong.

Congratulations to the winner, Tim Hare (5.0/6). Second was Andrew Hardegen (4.5/6). WFM Kathryn Hardegen and David Ellis finished equal 3rd (4.0/6).

Rating prizes (Under 1770 ACF) were won by Alan Wolstencroft (1st: 3.5/6) and David Barry (2nd: 3.0/6).

Thanks go to David Ellis for organising the event and performing the role of chief arbiter capably whilst playing. Thanks also go to Alan Wolstencroft for providing CAWA tea and coffee, and to Southern Suburbs Chess Club for hosting the event.
