GOLD COAST CHESS WEEK AND GOLD COAST
OPEN
The week will open with a Corporate Charity Teams
Challenge at the Radisson Resort on Sunday 17 June.
GM Ian Rogers and IM Gary Lane will be
coaching in Gold Coast schools during chess week 17-24 June. Chess week will
incorporate 10th anniversary celebrations including complimentary refreshments
after play on the Saturday night of the Gold Coast Open. Ian Rogers will give a
simultaneous display on Wednesday adult club night and both he and Gary will
take part in a GMs v Young Guns Super Blitz on Thursday junior club evening. On
both of these occasions complimentary refreshments will be provided.
The Gold Coast Open, a Grand Prix class three tournament, will be held in a
brand new venue a short distance from Somerset College where it has been held
for the last eight years. The Robina Town Centre Community Hall is a large,
carpeted, air conditioned venue, with cafes and restaurants very close by. It
was used last Tuesday/Wednesday for Gold Coast Primary Schools chess round two
with nearly 700 students participating. I'm sure the players will love it.
Prizes total $2,500 with a first prize of $750. There are seven rounds with
new time controls 30 mins a side plus 30 secs a move from the start. This means
a 60 move game will last about two hours. It also means that players will have
to score throughout and undignified time scrambles will be a thing of the
past.
