Australian Championships and Australian Junior Championships, 28 Dec 2005 to 9 Jan 2006
The Australian Championship, with a history dating back to 1885, is the most important event on the Australian chess calendar. This year it is being combined with the Australian Junior Championships, with the juniors starting at 9am daily, and the adults at 3pm. The organising committee is Ian Murray, John Humphrey and Graeme Gardiner. The venue for the event is the five star Carlton Crest in Brisbane. It will be the first time that the Australian Championships have been held in Brisbane since 1967. The Australian Juniors were last held in Brisbane in 1989.
This is a rare opportunity to bring together the entire adult and junior chess communities of Australia and we aim to make it one of the best chess events held in this country. We appeal strongly to the Brisbane and Queensland chess communities to get right behind the event. Please particularly be aware that neither the Australian Championships nor the Australian Junior Championships is restricted to élite players, and both events cater for players of all standards. Part of the fun is to be in the company of the top players, and simply to enjoy the atmosphere of top class chess. But we emphasise that adults and juniors of all standards can participate.
So please plan your Christmas holidays around participating in the Australian Championships. For those who cannot commit themselves to 13 days of chess, the Australian Minor runs from 3 to 9 January.
Junior age groups are under 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
Full details are available at www.ozchess2006.com. This webpage includes an online entry form and the ability to enter and pay securely online. Ian Murray has done most of the work involved in putting up such a comprehensive webpage, with considerable input from Wendy Gardiner and Jonathan Paxman.

FIDE Championship website: The event starts September 27 in Argentina. Kasimdzhanov, Adams, Leko, Anand, Topalov, Morozevich, Svidler and Polgar are playing. Site
The website is publishing brief interviews with the players. Here are some questions and answers for Vishy Anand:
1) What are your expectations about this important competition?
Of course it will be a very important event. I think all 8 of us will be training our guns for the event. I will start training soon. Since it is a tough double round robin I think each round will be really important.
2) How do you evaluate the way of play of this competition? (Double round-robin)
Exhausting, nerves, tension, patience, stamina, and lots of luck.
3) Which are your favourite players among your seven opponents? And who will be the toughest?
All will be equally tough. It will depend on each one's play. Some will get cracking from the beginning while others may have to work more. It is tough to pick a favourite. I think these are the 7 most difficult rivals in top class chess.
4) How are you preparing yourself for the WCC Argentina 2005?
I am playing in Mainz a rapid match. After that I will start working for Argentina. I will do some physical exercise routine. Some preparation and lots of rest before the actual event.
5) Do you think that you will be coming being in your best competition level?
I certainly think I have a fair shot. I will give it my 100% and more. But that is what everyone will also be thinking!!!!
6) Which will be the "tips" to win the competition?
I think patience, stability, stamina, and of course great novelties.
7) Will this tournament be very different from all the others you have already played?
We play each other quite often in tournament chess. But when it comes to a title I think the stakes rise. This adds its own dynamics and tension. That could also be a vital factor.
8) Will the spectators be seeing "new things" in the way of playing?
We hope we can entertain our fans and they enjoy from our mistakes, time troubles and our genial moves. I think it will be a very entertaining chess event.
9) Why should spectators don’t miss this championship?
I think all 8 will be giving everything they have to win. Personally, for me it is a challenge which I both enjoy and want to be fighting fit and ready. I am sure the spectators are going to have a good time watching first class chess in an exotic location.
10) Name the first things that come in to your mind when you think of Argentina.
Tango! Patagonia! Spanish. I was in Buenos Aires in 1994. Although we didn't really get time to see much of the city, I had a very pleasant time.
