Round 7 being played currently, with some of the top boards being broadcast on IGS (PandaNet)
At the conclusion of Round 7, Yi-Tien Chan of TAIPEI has secured first place as he is beyond catching in the final round. Even a loss will see him win on tie breakers, so congratulations are in order.
The rest of the podium is still up for grabs, however, and pictured is everyone who has won at least 5 games in the first seven rounds!
Let’s see how everything settles in the final round, due to being in just shy of 30 minutes <3
As always, tune into IGS to check out some of the top boards!
Thankyou BHydden. Your country did well for it’s small population with 18th. Is Xin Lei native born, native trained or a new arrival to Aus?

Yes Xin did very well! He had some close games too 
we’re very proud of his effort. I don’t know him well but he’s lived in Australia for at least 17 years, I’m not sure what his birth country is.
