DOEBERL CUP 2010
The Doeberl Cup, Australia’s longest running and most prestigious weekend tournament finished with visiting Chinese GM Li Chao B topping the 72 player event with 7.5/9. Second was young Australian George Xie (7 pts), a result that gained him his third and final GM norm. WA champion Tristan Boyd, with three wins from his last three games, came an excellent =7th (6 pts). I am indebted to Tristan for emailing me the following two games, both brilliant White sacrificial king hunts against the Sicilian:
