2014 Australian Women's Masters

While travelling to Switzerland, I have missed the first couple of rounds of the 2014 Australian Women's Masters. This event his currently being held at the Melbourne Chess Club, and is being organised by IA Gary Bekker.
Last years events was an 8 player RR. but for this year it has expanded to 12 players, with the added bonus of title norms being on offer. There are a number of overseas players, as well as a group of strong local players. It has also attracted some pretty good publicity, with coverage from Susan Polgar's website and by the FIDE Commission for Women's Chess (who are also an event sponsor).
The event also has a nice webpage, so if you wish to follow this event just visit http://australianwomensmasters.org/ for event results, live games and pictures.
