WA Championship: Top seed Hadyn Barber (2143) has narrowly won the WA Championship after a sensational run by 12-year-old Yita Choong (1633) ended tragically with a last-round defeat. Choong beat Barber and several other strong players in the tournament, but finished in joint second.
34 players competed in the 9-round swiss held on Sunday afternoons. Entries were down slightly on last year and WA's top two players - Tristan Boyd and Jay Lakner - did not play.
After 4 rounds, Barber was sharing first on 3.5 with juniors Ganesh Viswanath (15) and Choong, who had scored wins over Tim Hare (2097) and David Ellis (1981) respectively.
In round 5 Choong beat John Fedec (1829) whilst Barber defeated Ganesh Viswanath.
Choong scored a major upset by beat Haydn Barber in round 6, and led the tournament a point clear with 3 rounds to go.
Meanwhile, 76-year-old Wolfgang Leonhardt - eight times state champion from 1954 to 1972, and recently returned to competitive chess - beat Tim Hare to set up a clash with 12-year-old Choong.
Choong won that game to stay a full point clear with two rounds left, with a performance rating so far of around 2350. In another upset, Denis Holland (1588) beat David Ellis (1981).
Choong was finally stopped in round 8 - by Dennis Holland, rated just 1588, who moved into equal second with Haydn Barber, who had only managed a draw against Gordon Dunlop.
Going into the final round, Choong had a half point lead over Barber and Holland, with four players a further half point behind.
It's now history that Choong lost to Hare - and WA missed out on getting a 12-year-old champion - while Barber beat Holland to take the title. Choong did win the Reserves (U/1850) title. Congratulations to both!
Thanks to Matt Garcia & Dave O'Shaughnessy for putting the games up on the web, and to Mike McGregor & Joe Klimzcak for getting the results and draw up quickly after each round finished.

ACF President
Last week we reported that, following complaints, FIDE had taken action against the organiser of the recent World Youth tournament. Now the organiser and the French Chess federation have responded. You can read their statements here.
Oceania Chess News: The Palau Chess Federation has recently been granted conditional membership of FIDE. If you, or your chess club, have any surplus chess books or equipment which you are willing to donate to support Oceania's newest member federation, then please post these to Roberto Hernandez, Palau Chess Federation, PO Box 1501 Koror, Republic of Palau 96940.
I encourage all players and organisers to consider having their state championship and stronger club championship events FIDE rated. The fee to have an event FIDE rated is around $60 and the tournament should have a time control no faster than 90 minutes + 30 seconds/move. Gaining a FIDE rating provides international recognition, and allows entry into restricted international tournaments. If you are interested in having your event FIDE rated, please contact Greg Canfell, canfell@tpg.com.au, or myself for further details.
Expressions of interest to stage the 2007/2008 Oceania Zonal Championship are still being sought. The event would require a suitable, air-conditioned venue and a total prize fund of at least $5000. The event will be a qualifier for the 2009 World Chess Championship, and FIDE titles will be available from the event. Interested organisers are welcome to contact me to find out further information.
I urge all players to consider playing in the forthcoming Australian Chess Championship and Queenstown Classic events being held during January 2006. Both promise to be block-buster tournaments with many strong Grandmasters from around the world competing. A full list of forthcoming FIDE rated tournaments is available from my Oceania Chess Calendar website.
Warm Regards,
Gary Bekker

On Friday 26 August at a very successful dinner for members and partners the Manly-Warringah Rugby League Club Chess Club presented President Gordon Miller with life membership in honour of his 25 years of dedicated and selfless service for the club on the committee and for many of those years as President. Gordon was presented with a plaque to mark this honour. - Jonathan Adams

Hi Paul,
Could you please send me some more information about the FIDE Trainer titles? I will be interested to apply. Thanks.
Also, I have another question. Could you please advice who is the person responsible for FIDE titles in Australia?
As a result of the war in Bosnia, I lost my WGM diploma and I would like to get another one even if some fees apply.
I enjoy reading the chess newsletter. Keep going with good work!
Best Regards,
WGM Daniela Nutu-Gajic
Can anyone help? Please email Daniela directly. - Ed
