In the A division Luke Chung was up against Wei Cheng (Edmonton - 4D), Wei Cheng (Calgary -5D) and Terry Fung 4D from Sabaki. In round 1 Luke was upset by Wei (Edm). Wei (cal) defeated Wei (Edm) in round 2. After eliminating Terry in the loser section Luke got his revenge on Wei (Cal) by winning 2.5 points.

He then eliminated Wei (Edm) and had to meet Wei (Cal) in the final.This was a classic double elimination battle. Luke simply could not handle the double Wei.

No doubt the battle for Alberta will contine in April, 2006 in the Alberta Open.

Congratulations Wei Cheng (Calgary)
