Round 7
The qualifying rounds for the 2003 Interclub have been played and
the smoke has cleared such that we can announce the teams that
play-off next week in the FINALS.
In A grade, Pacmen retained their long held lead to finish on
18/28 and will play Jawbreakers (so named due to the length of some
names in the team, not their style of play), who finished on
17.5. The best-performed player in the grade was Scot Sharman
(6/7) of the Poets’ Society. The play-off starts at 7:45pm
Friday 5th September, at the Box Hill Chess Club.
As long expected in B grade Dandenong finished top on 18/28, but,
in a triple by-pass comeback, the much maligned Old ‘N’ Bold came
from the clouds (or is that the pits) to qualify with 12.5
points. These two now meet in a final next Friday, and the
winner will be scheduled to meet the winner of the same grade from
the Hobson’s Bay zone. The best-performed players in the grade
were both from Dandenong, Milic Sucevic and Zhigen Lin (5/7).
There is a final scheduled for C grade and it is See-one-see-all
v Girlpower. The best-performed player in the grade has been
mentioned previously so I will not be putting the name in
again. Btw, in the final round, Bruce Simpson was promoted to
B grade and helped Old ‘N’ Bold get over the qualifying line into
the final; will we ever be allowed to forget this?
D grade leaders, Currently (18.5/28), were first from Mentone
16. The best performed players in the grade were Metin Mustafa
and Farn-Ling Khung (6/7). This Final promises to be
exciting.
Keep contact with club activities by reading http://www.boxhillchess.org.au/.
The club now runs coaching on Sunday mornings; the level is
designed for those who want to leave the 1000 group behind. Please
discuss it with Gerrit Hartland if you are interested in joining the
coaching group.

While we're at it, the "records" section of the ACF website is hopelessly out of date, partly because of slackness by yours truly and partly because some files were replaced incorrectly during a server update. If anybody knows who the missing champions are, please email me: broekhuysep@bigpond.com.

After a long-running dispute over match conditions, FIDE has dumped its own World Champion Ponomariov and abandoned his proposed match with Kasparov. The match had been planned as part of the elaborate "Prague agreement" to reunify the fractured world chess championship scene.
The plan was for FIDE champ Ponomariov to play World No.1 Kasparov, while Einstein world champion Kramnik was to play Peter Leko, who had won a "candidates" tournament in Dortmund. Then the winners of these two matches would play, and - finally - the world would have a single, undisputed champion.
Alas, this plan is in tatters. A few months ago Einstein went into administration and there are no sure plans to hold the Kramnik-Leko match, while now Kasparov-Ponomariov has also been abandoned.
However, FIDE has suggested that it will now hold the 128-player World Championship Knockout Tournament in December 2003 event in Kiev or Yalta (Ukraine) to determine a challenger for Kasparov - GM Darryl Johansen will be Australia's respresentative - and appears prepared to host the Kramnik-Leko match in Buenos Aires in November and then proceed with the planned reunification match in 2004.
The reasons for the Ponomariov-Kasparov collapse are not completely clear. Ponomariov appears to have objected to the inclusion of rest days, among other matters, and has persistently complained that FIDE did not take him or his complaints seriously.
The Russian Championship has begun in Krasnojarsk. Eighty players including fifty-seven grandmasters and fifteen International Masters are playing. The top twenty-two players are rated above 2600. Alexander Grischuk 2732 and Peter Svidler 2723 are the top two seeds. http://www.kraschess.ru/ (Peter Parr)

Bacrot French Champion
Former prodigy Etienne Bacrot has won his national title on countback from Lautier and Andrei Sokolov. The championship was very exciting with lots of razor-edged tactical stoushes. I particularly liked some of the games of Apicella - a player I hadn't heard of but worth looking out for.
Final Scores after 11 rounds:
7.5 Sokolov, Bacrot, Lautier
6.5 Apicella, Dorfman
6.0 Vaisser
5.5 Bauer

Paul
My 7 year old has just taken up chess. One of the first games he has to try and solve is called 8 Queens. As a non chess player, I would like to assist him but do not know the answer to this quiz. Can you email me where the pieces should be placed?

Hi,
I'm sure you've probably got some replies about this already.
There are 12 distinct solutions, up to rotation and mirroring.
Here is a link to a picture that displays all 12:

Hi Paul
I think this is something that I do with my class at school. They have to arrange 8 queens on the board so that no capture is possible. solution: queens at a7, b4, c2, d5, e8, f1, g3, h6
