NSW State Championships Report
The NSW State Championships were played on the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June. The tournament was held in Sydney. The New South Wales state champion is Guyu Liu 7d with a clean sweep of all six rounds in the open division, with Yiming Guo 7d second on five victories and Jianghong He third on four victories (plus SOS and SDS to see off Ciaran Pearson 5d and Miao Zhao 7d, also with four wins each). Unfortunately David Ormerod 5d had to withdraw injured in the fourth round.
The New South Wales kyu champion is Michael Thompson 2k, with five victories and one defeat. Second in the handicap division was Daniel Filan 5k on three wins. This year’s handicap division was small, but kudos to the four of them for playing. The full results are in PDF format here and on the AGA web site.
Here are some pictures of the day, taken by An Younggil. Can anyone supply captions?

I only know a small handfull of the players in these photos, so it is difficult to give them suitable captions.
I ask if that is kevin jiang on the right in the last photo.
Where was the tournament held? The previous post about the nsw championships, mentioned that the date and venue would be announced closer to the event, but i don’t see where? ( presumably it was announced somewhere, judging by the attendance)
