The ChessKid Australia Championship took place on Saturday, July 17th and included players from all across the country. The live event featured commentary by Australian players GM David Smerdon and Shaun Curtis.
Australia is one of the most active countries on ChessKid; maybe that's why FunMasterMike flew 15 hours to hang out there last year! Thank also to our good friends at Gardiner Chess in Queensland for their help with organizing.
This was the first-ever ChessKid event for the Southern Hemisphere. Maybe ChessKid South Africa Championship is next?!
If you missed the event, you can catch the recap here.
In each section, the top five finishers, after tiebreaks, will win a special online chess mini-camp with a top Australian GM or WGM. In addition, the top three players in each section will receive prizes that will be sent to them.
