London Chess Classic 2011
2nd Dec - 12th December 2011 Classic Open tournament
The Women’s Invitational event started with a surprise result as Australia’s Shannon Oliver defeated the favourite IM Susan Lalic of England. That opened the door to second favourite Arlette van Weersel of the Netherlands and she went through it with alacrity, winning four games on the bounce and then holding Susan Lalic to a draw. Sarah Hegarty was Arlette’s closest rival but Arlette beat her in round seven. Arlette wrapped the tournament up with a round to go and finished two points clear of the field. Sarah came tantalisingly close to a WIM norm (set at 7/9), beating Susan Lalic along the way, but lost her final game to Rasa Norinkeviciute.
