Dubbo Open 2007 - Results

Congratulations to the winners of this years Dubbo Open, Bill Egan and Alexander Aich. Both players finished on 5/6 ahead of Phil Bourke and Fritz Van Der Wal on 4.5
Bill Egan successfully defended his title from last year, while equal first for Alexander Aich must be particularly satisfying as he is one of the chief organisers for the tournament.

As for myself, I fully intended to play until ambushed by family commitments at reasonably short notice. Having plugged the tournament, and having often argued for the necessity of chess players to do more to support event organisers, does my not playing make me a bad person? The simple answer is yes. Hopefully I will be able to redeem myself next year.

You are right, a great tournament that deserves to get more support. It is in a great location and has a great mob of people involved. Look forward to seeing you there next year with all of us country hicks. We won't mind if you leave Bill Egan at home, he is near impossible to beat at Dubbo :)
