Smurfo Wins First Game
It's on. The six-game match between Australian GM David Smerdon and IM Puchen Wang of New Zealand began today with the Aussie winning with the black pieces in 56 moves. The official site has both live coverage and downloadable PGNs.
Smerdon won Queenstown and the Zonal. Puchen Wang is now one point down, with a big task in front of him.
ReplyDeleteA Smerdon vs Chandler Match would be even more interesting.
Can Smerdon now claim to be the Aussie no.1 ?
No
ReplyDeleteIf Smerdon not the No.1 Aussie player who is ?
ReplyDeleteand what rank is Smerdon ?
