chestas<p>The Tasmanian Chess Championship concluded today with 18 year old Will Rumley from Hobart becoming the 2025 Champion. I had to settle for equal 4th after a bad day yesterday. </p><p>The tournament ran smoothly, and everyone seemed happy with the event and the beautiful host town of Deloraine. </p><p>The event was covered by Seven News Tasmania and ABC Hobart </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tasmania</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lutruwita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lutruwita</span></a></p>
chestas<p>Day two of the Tasmanian Chess Championship was a long one with three games. I played well below par, took too many risks, and lost two games to put me out of the running for the title this year. </p><p>A minor division took place with 11 players. Darvin Hansen, who I coach a bit, won the event. Hopefully this tournament will grow in years to come as we see more people wanting to join chess tournaments but not having to play very tough opponents over three gruelling days. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tasmania</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lutruwita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lutruwita</span></a></p>
chestas<p>First day of the Tasmanian Chess Championship was good. </p><p>We had a small tournament for women and girls, seeing it is International Women's Day. </p><p>Then the Championship started with two rounds today and a minor division with three rounds. </p><p>The Championship is being held in Deloraine for the first time in its history, and the combined number of players in both divisions makes this event the biggest in terms of participation. </p><p>I started with two wins, but tomorrow will see a big sorting out as the top seeds will likely all meet. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tasmania</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lutruwita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lutruwita</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Deloraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Deloraine</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/internationalwomensday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>internationalwomensday</span></a></p>
