Alex had his best performance so far with equal third place in the Major, scoring 8/11 and performing at 2142. Full results here.
• Australian Junior Championships - Alex Stahnke continued his astonishing run of much improved form at the Australian Junior Championships, where he scored 7/11, finishing in 6th equal place, and winning the Australian Under 14 title outright.
• Congratulations also to Leteisha Simmonds and Abbie Kanagarajah, who both went undefeated through the Australian Open Girls Championship scoring 8/9. Leteisha, who is only just out of primary school, convincingly won the play off to become Australian Girls Champion (Under 18).
