Internet Champs - Round 1

The Australian Junior Internet Championships kicked off with massive demolitions on Sunday, 19 February, on the Internet Chess Club.

New South Wales routed Tasmania 11-1, while the Australian Capital Territory defeated their Queensland opposition by the same score. And despite a public feud between two parents in the Victorian camp, the young chessers still managed to demolish their next-door rivals, South Australia, 9 - 2.

Full results are available here.
