2023 Greg Hjorth Memorial: Prizes – Kiamehr, Micah, Joshua Cooper, and Batyrbekovs playing.

November 4, 2023 by Rohan Pyne

Interesting to note the absence of GMs and IMs is not just a Qld. problem.
The money that used to go to the top players for appearance fees has now been 
diverted to U/1600 players for Rating Prizes.
That's not a problem. 
It just means our Top Juniors now have to go overseas to meet titled players.
Or maybe stay online.
