Autumn Cup round 3 completed
The tournament that
starts in summer but finishes in autumn
Round 3 was marred by no
less than 3 [!] forfeits. [Anurag continued to be ill, Elliott missed out due to
an accident on the way to the game and Victor Kildisas was a no show]. David
Creedon was impressive in his win against the much higher rated Zeljko Podvorac
and Stephanie’s mum was vey pleased with her daughter’s draw against the
highly regarded David Schneider. In round 4 Chris Wallis will continue on top
board. Victor Kildisas has been withdrawn. The clash Yu v Yu is unfortunate but
better now than later

Queens and Rookies Cup.

festival tournament in Ballarat.
2008
Autumn Cup round 2 completed
The tournament that
starts in summer but finishes in autumn
The push
for rating recognition by our young players continued in round 2 with Michael
Chan [remember his picket fence score in the open last year?] and Isaac Ng
[always dangerous] giving 400 rating points away and winning. Round 3
preliminary draw with the acceleration removed is now available on the website http://www.boxhillchess.org.au
Due to a nasty ear infection which left him
partially deaf [well deafer than usual] the arbiter missed a mobile phone
transgression. The lucky escapee was newcomer Ronnie Ducusin. The uneven number
of players continues to bug the making of the draw. We need a couple of low
rated players to be included in the field willing to take a place on the night
if a vacancy occurs. Is there anyone out there?

February
Queens and Rookies Cup.
Contact coach George Zaprudsky
We had 46
entrants in the February Rookies and Queens Cup last Sunday. This was a good
turn-out given the competition from Chinese New Year festivities.
Top seed
was Carl Gorka who played in the recent Victorian Championship; welcome to Carl
and he gave good competition to all the strong entrants.
Cedric
Antolis continued his super form from 2007 and was winner of the Rookies section
by a clear point.
Seven
female players was a pleasing aspect and congratulations to Adeline Antolis and
Janaki Narenthran for winning the Queens section.
Full
results and section winners can be viewed on our web-site: http://www.boxhillchess.org.au
A call for
volunteers to assist in running this boisterous event saw Laurie Dalton put his
hand up and we hope he enjoyed the experience of being stretched. Thanks Laurie.

Autumn Cup round 1 completed
The tournament that
starts in summer but finishes in autumn
After a
very slow early bird entry a last minute burst of strong and not so strong
players ensured a quality field. A big bonus for the club was the return FM
Geoff Saw [after a long absence] Vanja Rozenblat, Devrim Van Dijk, and Ruebban
Muthusamy after study absence. One of the attractions this year is the live
broadcast of board one games via our newly acquired DGT board. The broadcasted
game from round one was a cracker in which the pupil defeated the master. IM
Leonid Sandler commented later that it made him feel better as he was now not
the only master to lose to a BHCC junior.
This
Friday we will see the replay of Dalton v Wallis [a replay from the Australian
Junior and the Canterbury Summer Swiss]
The
preliminary draw for round two is now available on our web site http://www.boxhillchess.org.au
