A crash on the Southern Motorway delayed a few people from getting in on Monday but most games started on time.
Please txt if you are going to be late in and we can sort something out. We had one player turn up late after their game had been defaulted and another didn’t turn up at all.
Apologies for the delay updating the website. We had some problems with Vega. Thank you to Keong Ang for his hard work chasing the bugs (and re-entering the draw/results) and to both Keong and Ewan for organising on Monday.
Results from this week
- Alexei Kulashko on board one was held to a draw by Nathan Goodhue. The game was the last to finish and went to just over 80 moves. At the end Alexei had to play a perpetual check to prevent Nathan from getting a second Queen.
- Newcomer Alex Negorski beat Alphaeus Ang
- Scott Treanor continued his run of upsets from last week and got a draw against Daniel Gong
- The B Grade saw several upsets including from Daniel Qiu, Leo Li and Isaac Yuan plus 3 draws.
The Vega website for the tournament is
Round 3

If you are unable to play please contact Simon Lyall either via text (021 575 233) or email to contact @ aucklandchess.nz . Normally you will get a half point bye. Please let us know as early as possible.
A reminder to players to bring a pen when they come in on Monday, we don’t have many spares to lend out. Also please make sure you pay you sub if it is still pending. I believe we are down to the last few.
The draft draw for both grades is below. Please remember that this may change if there are additional byes
