Sunday Fun Tournament October 2012

34 players competed in the Sunday Fun Tournament held on 7th October at Sydney Academy of Chess in Burwood. It was once again a fairly strong field, with the average rating of players around 400-500 JCL.

Thanks again to Alana and Per for running the tournament. A comment from Per was that it ran well and not too many people cried! Whether you win, lose, or draw, it's all a good learning experience for everyone!
