2011 Victorian Reserves

The field for the 2011 Victorian Championship re-

serves has now been decided as a 10 player round

robin tournament. This is the field 1. Bashar, Omar Khaled OS 1959

2. Anton, Sarah VIC 1696

3. Beattie, Roger VIC 1687

4. Hacche, David VIC 2012

9. Dizdarevic, M VIC 1948

10. Lekkas, Frank VIC 1854

Unfortunately no Box Hill players in this somewhat modest field. The games for this tournament started last night at

the club. Too much competition for the DGT boards to show any of the games. You will find regular updates on both the championship and the reserves on the CV website

FIDE arbiters course

There have been 16 entrants

so far in our FIDE arbiters

seminar although not all en-

trants are confirmed it looks

like a good turn out. The

course is run in parallel to the

senior zonal and is organised

by international arbiter Gary

Bekker with the help of

Shaun Press and Charles

Zworestine

John Kable is ill

Life member John Kable was

taken to hospital last week

with a serious heart attack and

after open heart surgery un-

blocking 3 blocked arteries is

now recovering well at St

Vincent private. No visitors

though until next week

Canterbury Summer

Swiss

There has been some toing and froing since a combined preferred format was pro-posed by the presidents of

the Melbourne and Box Hill Chess clubs. This proposal was approved by the Box Hill Chess club committee but did not meet the seal by the MCC committee. Therefore it

was decided that each club

would go its own way. This is what our Summer Swiss cwill look like.

Venue 3 Rochester Road

Playing schedule:

Thursday January 26, Rd 1 10.00 AM, Rd 2, 3.00 PM. Friday January 27 Rd 3 7.45. PM Saturday January 28, Rd 4, 10.00 AM Rd 5, 3.00 PM. Sunday January 29, Rd 6, 10.00 AM Rd 7 3.00 PM. More details next week

Prahran Chess club advertisement

We are now taking enrolments for Term 3. The Chess Club meets on Saturdays, 1-2.30pm from July 30 until September 17. Brochures are available at Box Hill Chess Club or email george@zedchess.com.au. We kicked off the new Prahran Saturday Chess Club in Term 2 with a chess tourna-ment and many other fun and educational activities: Prepared for the Victorian Junior Championships Practiced recording games Learned some tricky tactics like Outposts and Interception Played in a Transfer Chess Tournament And had lots of fun! Well done to our students who participated in the recent Victorian Junior Championships, particularly Jamie Fay who was one move away in his last game from becoming the Victorian Under 10 Champion! IM Leonid Sandler and George Zaprudsky (Senior Chess Coaches)

Next Rookies Cup Sunday August 14. This will be the last Sunday tournament I can attend for awhile

anyway. It is good to see Box Hill members attending the arbiters

course who will then be versed in the rules and able to take over.

Remember Kind discretion is the motto

THE 2011 Box Hill Masters

A visit to the Hong Kong Chess Club

Round 2 of the masters was played last night but

due to late [too late] withdrawal from Savi and

Tom Narenthran some games have been played

out of sequence and some players have only

played one game. Here are the standings 1-3 Raine, Marcus 2046 2000 1.5

Players who have only played one game are

Bartnik, Flude, Fan, and Jordan.

The game between Robert Bartnik and Bill Jordan

would have been of great interest to those inter-

ested in the history of Australian Junior chess two

former Australian Junior champions of the 70s

Robert Australian junior champ in 1973 and Bill

1974. Robert returning to chess after a long lay-

off and Bill a FIDE master having his first turn-out

at our club. Great scheduling by tournament or-

20i1 Friday Rapid tournament

2010 c.v. Champ play-off

The 2010 Vic Championship play-off between Chris Wallis and Dusan Stojic was held at the Box Hill Chess Club and ended in disaster for club champion Chris Wallis who after drawing the first game lost the

second one. This was after what I thought were winning positions in both games We are hoping Michael Gluzman will provide us with analysis of both games in his column

(President HKCC Peter Tsai President BHCC, Mingo Lam Treasurer HKCC

While overseas recently vis-iting the country of my birth, I stopped into the Hong Kong Chess Club and was warmly welcomed by committee members, Jack-son & Mingo. Their club

night is Monday 6.30 to 10.30 pm at the Queen

Elizabeth Stadium, 18 Oi Kwan Road, Wanchai, on Hong Kong Island. Fortu-nately for me English is spo-

ken at the club as the ma-jority of the juniors are Eng-lish educated. The club was holding its Summer Swiss tournament and the current

leader has a connection with Australia, a Hong Kong student currently studying at Sydney Uni-

versity on term holidays. He also plays club chess at the North’s Chess Club, Sydney. The num-bers are much smaller than Box Hill with only 15 boards in their 5

round Summer Swiss Tournament. However, like most chess clubs, they rely on volunteers and within 5 minutes of the club room opening,

tables, chess sets, clocks & score sheets are set up with the as-sistance of players & parents. Jackson and Mingo are the backbone

of the Chess Club and

are both FIDE instruc-tors and currently coaching a number of the Hong Kong juniors The website for the Hong Kong chess club is www.hkchess.org
