Carlton Crest Hotel, Brisbane, on Friday, 6 January 2006 at 9.30am.
2006 Australian and Junior Championships website:
The webpage for these two important events in the Australian chess calendar has now been launched. The address is www.ozchess2006.com. This is the main method of communication between the organisers and the chess community. It includes a downloadable entry form, and an online entry form. The organisers will be printing a very small quantity of entry forms later on, but it is recommended that the chess community rely mainly on the webpage for information, and for entering the various competitions.
Ian Murray did most of the work on this webpage, with some considerable assistance from Wendy Gardiner and Jonathan Paxman.

There will be three chess events over the weekend. The total prize list is up to $4,650. Not bad for a weekend.

Sat 28 May, 5 to 9pm - Transfer

Special Offer - Chess Mania - Enter all 3 events for $45 per person ($30 for juniors/pensioners)

Gold Coast Open, Robina Town Centre, Sat/Sun 18/19 June - $3,000 in Prizes
This event is rated by our national magazine 'Australian Chess' as Australia's third most important weekender after the Doeberl Cup and Ballarat Begonia. Reigning champion, Grandmaster Ian Rogers will be playing, as he has done for the last 12 years. He is unlikely to get it all his own way as our visiting GM from Germany, Roland Schmaltz is very likely to be playing. And of course our local star IM Stephen Solomon never lets the GMs get off easily. WIM Arianne Caoili, who lives at Robina, is also an almost certain entrant.
In recent years we have had sufficient players and playing strength to split the event into open and under 1600 sections. This has worked very well, with a lot of much closer games and less mis-matches. We very much hope to get a good turnout of adults in addition to the strong contingent of juniors who always gain much from the experience.
The Gold Coast Chess Club looks forward to welcoming you all to its flagship tournament. An entry form can be found at the Gardiner Chess webpage (what's coming up soon), and entry can be made using your credit card via 'pay online' at www.gardinerchess.com.

Adams versus Hydra: Britain's No 1 player Michael Adams will play a six game match against the Hydra chess computer in London from June 21-26. Hydra runs on specialist parallel processors rather than PCs and can calculate 200 million moves a second. It has convincingly beaten GM Vladimirov and Shredder in earlier matches. The project is financed by PAL Computer Systems in Abu Dhabi. Dr Chrilly Donninger is the main programmer and Dr Ulf Lorenz the parallel computing expert, while Christopher Lutz and Talib Mousa are the chess consultants for the program. The team aim to break the 3000 elo rating mark this year.
