South Island Championship


According to the excellent site http://web.mac.com/xrissmith/Chess/Home.html the final standings of the SI Champs are as follows.
Results
1st= GM Darryl Johansen 7
1st= GM Murray Chandler 7
1st= IM Stephen Solomon 7
4rd IM Andras Toth 6½
5th= Justin Davis 6
5th= FM Roger Nokes 6
Thus FM Roger Nokes is the new SI Champ.
The current Palmy Champ finishing on the same score as FM Nokes is an excellent result and I am sure if he had to disown the North to get a share of the title he would have, atleast I know I would.

You must be a current South Island resident for 6 months in order to quailify, a bit of a shame for the South Island born Davis.

Would be quite funny if Roger Nokes was born in the North Island , and took the title over South Island born Davis !
