NSW Champs - Round 4

FIDE master Greg Canfell is on course to win yet another NSW state championships title. The 4-time winner (his last was in 2001), yesterday defeated Simon Quick to remain undefeated in the currently running event.

Results in the top division, courtesy of current champ Andrew Bird's posting on Chess Chat:

Quick - Canfell, 0-1
Bird - Safarian, 1-0
Nanavati - Halpin, 0-1
Charles - Kolln, 0-1
Ilic - Illingworth, draw

Andrew Bird sent me this game between Sydneysider Gareth Charles and German visitor Rasmus Kolln. (I am at work now so I can't provide nice diagrams).
