ADELAIDE CUP
-------------------------
The Adelaide Cup played over the last weekend was won by Bob Cowley on 6/7
ahead of Srbo Zaric 5.5/7. The big surprise of the tournament was the win by
16 year junior Tristan Stevens over Srbo Zaric in the 6th round. Tristan played
his ussual Smith-Morra Gambit against Zaric and played in the style of Alan
Goldsmith - his coach - to break through for a convincing win. In the fifth round
Srbo beat rival Bob Cowley to seemingly win the tournament. Srbo had taken a
half point bye in the fourth round to leave him half a point behind Bob. The third
seed was Amir Amini who finished on 5 to finish third

I play correspondance chess on a site - www.chessworld.net
or www.letsplaychess.com - you might have heard of it... It is probably
the biggest correspondance site on the web! Anyway, they are holding a
chess 'olympic games' and have opened the tournament up to anyone (not
just paid members such as myself)... As the captain of the Australian
team (and Australia's most active player on that site - I didn't say
best though!), I would like to invite anyone (everyone?) to come and
join for the tournament - it is a team tournament, so there won't be a
whole lot of games, and the timing is very open (usually between 5-20
days per move as a maximum)... We want to represent Australia as a
winning nation just as it is in real life - so as many people as
possible to join!
Anyone interested in joining can just signup, or send me an email... If
you signup, my id is 'meke' - I will be happy to guide anyone through
the site and get them in the team... All players welcome (and all will
get a game or 4!) - no age or performance restrictions... Think about it
- I am a 1400 player, and probably not improving much, but enjoy every
moment of it so come and join in!
Thanks

LAJOS STEINER CENTENARY
the New South Wales Chess Association has organised
the Lajos Steiner Centenary Tournament, in memory of the
strongest player ever to have emigrated to
Australia. June 14th 2003 will be the 100th anniversary of the
birth of Lajos Steiner.
Steiner's best chess was placed in the 1920's (Vienna 1923,
Gyor 1924, Meran 1924, Hastings 1924/5, Debrecen 1925, Dresden 1926.
He was 2nd-3rd equal with Nimzovitch behind Alekhine in Kecskemet 1927.
Steiner defeated Bogoljubow, Gruenfeld, Maroczy, Reti, Nimzovitch,
Taetakower.
Steiner played board one for Hungary in the Olympiads drawing with
Alekhine in 1935.
Steiner visited Australia in 1936 as a guest winning the Australian
Championship tournament in Perth scoring 11 out of 11.
Steiner won outright the Australian championship in 1945 (Sydney),
1946/7 (Adelaide), 1952/3 (Hobart) and 1958/9 (Sydney). His overall
score in these 5 Australian Championships was 53 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses
(87.5%!!).
Steiner was a peaceful, gentle and friendly character. He lived in Sydney until his death
in 1975.
