28 players entered with five rated over 2000. Top-ranked players were Rick Kaner 2250, Mr. Nanavadi 2134 and Johnny Bolens. The tournament was held on Easter Saturday and Easter Monday only at the Cabra-Vale Diggers Chess Club in Sydney. There was also a lightning comp on Monday afternoon. The tournament featured a free hot lunch on Monday - not bad considering that the pensioners, unemployed and juniors entry fee was only $10 and all entry fees were refunded in prize money!
