Here are a few upsets from the event. First up, young NewSouthWelshman

And a miscalculation cost IM David Smerdon the point in this game:

21. Ka3 Kb6 22. Kxa4 c5 23. Ng5 Bc6+ 24. Kb3 Re7 25. Bxa6?
Seems to win a pawn because of Rd6 next, but ...
25...Rxd2 26. Rxd2 h6!
The point is that if the knight moves, Black has ...Nxe4
27.b5 hxg5 28. Rd6 Re6 29. Rxc6+ Rxc6 30. bxc6 Kxa6 31. Kc4 Kb6 32. c7 Kxc7 33.

And finally, not an upset, but an interesting clash between two talented young players:

MELBOURNE CHESS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2003
The Melbourne Club Championships has concluded on the 14th March 2003
with a tie for first in one of the closest fought championships for years.
Perhaps most noteworthy is the fact that multiple winner, Guy West,
did not even place in the outright standings, owing to a shock loss to
Malcolm Pyke in round 6. The top rated player, Peter Froehlich from
Germany also failed to secure the first place, although was undefeated
to achieve a creditable 3rd with 7 points. And so it was left to New Zealand
and now Australian resident, Igor Bjelobrk and Eddy Levi, many times
participant to achieve equal 1st with 7.5/9. In the rating divisions,
Marcus Raine took out the Under 2000 prize and Mark Roberts took
out the Under 1800 prize both of them with 6/9, which incidentally was
also =4th. The one outstanding game in the tournament may have some
bearing on the Under 1600 prize and as such I can not comment on the
actual winner for that division.
The tournament was played with good spirit, though unfortunately club
stalwart John Hanks had to withdraw midway owing to ill health. There
were few forfeits overall and the newly adopted incremental time control
seems to have been accepted without any controversy.
Melbourne Chess Club now looks forward to the commencement of its
next tournament, the City of Melbourne Open on Monday 5th May at
7 pm, and to the Emmanuel Basta Memorial on the weekend of the 3rd
and 4th of May, entires closing at 9.30 am on the 3rd.

AUSTRALIAN CLUBS TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Caloundra, Sunshine Coast,
29 September to 3 October 2003
Rydges Oasis Resort
We now have six confirmed teams for this inaugural event. They are St George
(Sydney), Universities of Sydney, Canberra, Gold Coast, Bullwinkle
(Brisbane) and Suncoast. I have particularly asked Box Hill and Adelaide to
make every endeavour to send a team. Six is great, eight would be terrific.
All other clubs are, of course, encouraged to send teams. Ten would be
awesome for the first year!
