Although this was round 7 of the Chess Championship of New South Wales, Christenson and Pietzcker had so far only completed 5 games each. Most rounds had byes due to the unavailability of one player or another.

So at the end of round 7, Christenson had a score of 4½-½ and Pietzcker 2-3

However Christenson faded badly after this, losing his remaining games and finishing 7th out of 10 on a score of 4½/9

Pietzcker finished 8th (not sure of his final score).
