I had not intended to issue a news sheet immediately after Easter but when I saw Michael Gluzman’s analysis of the game

Solomon v Schön in the Doeberl cup I felt I

had to share it with my fellow members As a point of interest Eugene was the high-est ranked Victorian in the field narrowly missing out on a podium finish and an IM norm Our Calendar Guru David Flude made a few

comments on the tournament The Doeberl Cup is played every year in Canberra at Easter. Players from all over australia and from overseas attend. A good number of Box Hill players attended.

It is played in three divisions. The field in

the Premier division was fearsomely strong including six Grandmasters and a large number of International Masters and FIDE Masters. Nevertheless the players from Box Hill ac-quitted themselves very well. There are too

many to mention them all As far as I am concerned the following are highlights. Eugene Schön finished eighth on count

back including defeating the very strong International Master Stephen Solomon as

black. Eugene had a tough draw . In par-ticular he played the top seed GM Sune Berg Hansen of Denmark in the last round when both players needed to win to score second place in the tournament. Un-

fortunately Eugene lost. Darryl Johansen and Bobby Cheng finished 12th and thir-teenth on 5.5 points amongst others sepa-rated by count back. I noticed that Bobby as black drew with a Grandmaster but I have not studied his results in detail.

In the Major Thomas Feng finished third on

5.5 points, half a point behind the first and second place winners. Rad Chmiel per-formed very solidly to finish seventh on count back on five points amongst several others.
