Mos Ali was elected ACTCA President at the AGM this week. He narrowly defeated Shaun Press in a secret ballot, 11 votes to 8 (with 2 abstentions). Former ACTCA President Denis Jessop, who is now ACF President, did not stand for re-election.
The rest of the ACTCA Committee were re-elected unopposed; Roger McCart (Vice-President), Jey Hoole (Secretary), Paul Dunn (Treasurer) and Shun Ikeda (Junior Chess Coordinator). - Jey Hoole
ICC star "Hawkeye" - GM Roland Schmaltz - in Australia: GM Roland Schmaltz from Germany, and his partner Nina Kissel who is a 1500 club player, have moved to Brisbane, and are likely to stay until at least the end of 2006.
Roland won the Brisbane Open without being troubled. His claim to fame is that he is the unofficial world bullet champion on ICC. He has also coached many of Germany's leading junior players. Check out his webpage at www.hawkeye.de. - Graeme Gardiner

World Juniors provisional selections: These are the provisional selections for the World Juniors based on the totals of the rankings provided by the five selectors. In each case the first named player is the selected player in each division and the remaining players are the reserves in order of priority.
My thanks to the selectors, IGM Ian Rogers, IM Stephen Solomon, IA Manuel Weeks, FM Brett Tindall and FM Geoff Saw for their many hours of work on the selections.
My thanks also to all the applicants for their interest in representing Australia, and to all the parents, coaches and other connections who have helped with applications.
Appeals may be made as per section 9 of the ACF selections by-laws which can be found at http://www.auschess.org.au/constitution/con7.htm . The deadline for appeals is April 6th.
If any appeals are received the affected candidates will be notified.

Adelaide Uni Open: Hi all, My name is Alex Saint and I am the president of the Adelaide University Chess Club (AUCC). I am writing about the Adelaide University Open National Chess Tournament to be held on the 9th and 10th of July 2005. This will most probably be the final University Open and we hope to make it the best yet.
The University Open is one of Australia's largest weekend chess tournaments with entrants coming from all over Australia. This is a Category 3 Grand Prix Event with $4000 in total prizes and $1000 top prize. Previous winners include IM Stephen Solomon, GM Ian Rogers and IM Mark Chapman.
In its final year, we are very keen to get as many IMs and GMs to our event as possible. Because of this, the University Open organisers have decided to offer $200 against prizemoney for all IMs and GMs that compete. We hope, particularly for the IMs, that you are satisfied with our recongition of your abilities and service to Australian chess.
We are also very keen to get interstate players. This is why we have kept the entry fees as low as possible ($50/40), provided cheap accommodation deals on our website, put on a transfer tournament and provided a $5 full buffet dinner.
Please let me know if you or others would be interested in playing in the University Open and whether you would like an entry form or multiple forms sent to you.
For full details, go to our website- www.unichess.org
Cheers,
Alex Saint
AUCC President
Dandenong Summer Swiss - report from Garry Lycett on the Chess Victoria newsletter:
The eighth and last round of the Dandenong Summer Swiss saw Malcolm Pyke and Milenko Lojanica both win and emerge as the joint tournament winners with 6.5 / 8.
Milenko finished unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 draws whilst Malcolm, who was outright or equal leader for the whole event, had 6 wins, 1 draw and lost the one game to Milenko in the penultimate round.
Both their last round games were interesting, Milenko played very well on the Black side of a Kings Gambit to defeat Don Machell. Having seen the result of that game Malcolm knew he had to win against Zdravko Lojanica, and he managed to do just that in the second last game to finish.
Finishing on 3rd with 6 points was Mendel Armerman who performed well above expectations in this event, wins against Miralem Campara and Abdulwahab Rashid should be a boost to his rating. Frank Silas, Zdravko Lojanica and Wilson Lin finished 4th - 6th on 5.5 points, with another 11 players finishing on 5.
The U1600 Group was jointly won by three players; Bob Spiric, Bahri Senturk and Matthew Potter all won their last round games to finish on 5 points. They were half a point ahead of Peter Pispek who had led this group from Round 4, but who finished with two very tough opponents in the final rounds.
The U1400 Group had an interesting end, going into the last round three players were tied on 3.5, Frank Drazzi, Craig Baxter and Philip Drew, with a number of players on 3 and 2.5. Somehow everybody in this group managed to lose and with one game left the standings remained the same. However in this game Craig Baxter was playing Bob Parrot and had a winning position in a rook and pawn ending. But Craig was running out of time and this caused him to make a few mistakes, unfortunately for the other two he was good enough to hang on in time pressure for a draw which was all he needed for a well deserved 1st in this group on 4 points.

Paul,
an error in the Doeberl Cup results crept into ACF Bulletin 312. Specifically I finished on 1.5 points, not 2.5 points, in the Premier division. I lost to Tony Davis in the last round but somehow the crosstable (initially) had us both with byes for the last round!? You may want to issue a correction in the next bulletin.
Come to think of it maybe I should have kept quiet.........
Best Regards
Roland Brockman

- White has plenty for the queen, but the game's wide open
- ( 21...b6 22.Bxg8 )
- ( 23.Bxg8 bxc5 and black has dangerous play on the long diagonal )

- ( 26...f5!? might be worth a shot here. White's attack does not look like it will be immediately decisive on the queenside, and his kingside is poorly defended, so black could afford to build up the attack, eg 27.a5 f4 28.Bg2 Qh6 29.axb6 axb6 and black seems to have good chances )
