Our friend The Closet Grandmaster was reporting about this event in detail. He also played there and finally made 4 points. Good luck in the future events!

FYI: Best placed NZD player and winner of the 2006 NZ Championship title was GM Murray Chandler, who is still a NZ citizen. FM (not IM) Igor Bjelobrk was 2nd placed NZ player, and scored an IM norm for his efforts. Bjelobrk, like Chandler, does not actually live in NZ. Bjelobrk was 4th= overall, along with about 8 others, including NZ players FM Lukey (gained an IM norm too), and IM Ker.
