2009 ACT Championships results out

The final results for both divisions of the 2009 ACT Championships have been published on the Australian Go Association web pages. Neville Smythe posted on the AGA news page:

The ACT Open Championship was won by Guyu Liu, with 6 straight wins; Yiming Guo and David Ormerod came 2nd and 3rd. The Handicap section was won by Jordan Ceglinski. The tournament was run as a McMahon, so after the second round the kyu players were mixed in with the dan players; Jordan’s record indicates we have to upgrade his ranking significantly!

If anyone has any photos or kifu or amusing anecdotes from the event, we would like to include a proper tournament report in the spring issue of the Journal.
