Oceania Zonal

GM Zong-Yuan Zhao qualifies for the next round of the World Championship cycle.
Andrew Brown is awarded the IM title.
FM titles go to Moulthun Ly and Gareth Oliver. However, Ly has been eligible for the title on rating (over 2300) for a considerable time, without claiming it. In view of this, it is possible that the next in line, Fedja Zulfic, might be awarded the title. We will have to wait and see.
Grading prizes:
under-2000 Hilton Bennett
under-1800 Matthew Bennett (no relation!)

Thanks to the arbiters: Robert Gibbons, Peter Stuart, Craig Hall, Charles Zworestine, and Bruce Pollard.
