Max Illingworth wins the 2014 Australian chess championship.


Max Illingworth beat 13 year old Anton Smirnov to take the title. It was an exciting game. The report, games and photo's can all be foun on the official site.




 I had a relatively early draw. Being black and facing a promising junior, I didn't burn any bridges and when offered a draw in an ending that is still not clear to me I accepted. Anyway, gotta go, car is leaving for Sydney. See you soon.




I hope you enjoyed these reports, next stop, the Australian junior championships.
