Cape Town Open 2021

The 2021 Cape Town Open was held on May 30 and was played “over the board”.

First place was closely by Andrew and Sam, with their head to head game going to Andrew by less than komi. James got revenge against Fred for his loss during Candidates day one, but lost to Christiaan in the final round, allowing Michael to sneak ahead on “sum of scores”. This puts Christiaan and James at one all so far in tournament games this year.

Thanks to everyone who took part.

Cape Town Open 2020

The 2020 Cape Town Open was held on May 23. This year it was played on OGS rather than “over the board”. This allowed a number of Gauteng based players to participate and made for a competitive tournament.

The top spot was taken by Chris Welsh, in a bit of a repeat of the 1Q internet tournament. Congratulations also to Pico on his promotion to 17k after his round one win.

Final standings:
1: Chris Welsh, 3d, MMS 33
2: Andrew Davies, 4d, MMS 32 SOS 94
