May 5th - 11th 2012 - Fiji
International Open, Suva, FIJI.
See
www.fijichess.com.
Following an
unexpected decision to split what would have been a 38-player Open into a
22-player Open and a 16-player Women's event, the top seeds in each section
slaughtered their opponents to finish on 9/9. UPDATE: I am informed that the
organisers decided to split the tournament into male and female sections
because Fiji wanted the tournaments to be Olympiad qualifiers for its Open and
Women's teams.
Full Open results at
