Queenslander IM Stephen Solomon has won the Australasian Masters in Melbourne. Congratulations Stephen! James Morris, only half a point behind Stephen, proved that his IM title at the zonal was no fluke. Well done James!

The new World Under 12 Champion Bobby Cheng also performed very well. Well done Bobby! Bobby is Australia's first ever world age champion. We were very impressed by his composure at the Oceanic Zonal earlier in the year.
