Xstrata Australian Chess Championships 2006 and Australian Junior Chess Championships 2006:
Mining giant Xstrata has signed up as the naming rights sponsor for the upcoming Australian Championships in Brisbane. An anonymous grant from a charitable foundation has also been negotiated for the Australian Junior Championships. These important funding sources are joined by the Pratt Foundation and the Queensland Government Gambling Community Benefit Fund. The organising committee wish to express their sincere gratitude for this generous support.
Players are reminded that the early bird entry fees expire on 30 November. So get in quick. A full list of registrations in each and every event is shown at www.ozchess2006.com/players.htm. Apart from the obvious interest in who will be the new Australian champion, no doubt there will be those watching for potential GM and IM norms, including George Xie chasing his third IM norm, and Arianne Caoili chasing her third WGM norm. How will Moulthun Ly go with his 'iron man' efforts in both the Australian Championships and Australian Junior Championships? Can Raymond Song punch weight for age? Will any wild cards put their hand up for selection in the Australian Olympiad team? Will Queensland, which is hosting the Australian Championships in Brisbane for the first time in 40 years, put up a good showing? Can GM Darryl Johansen win a record 6th Australian title? Who will be the new young stars of Australian junior chess?
These questions will all be answered at the Carlton Crest Hotel between 28 December and 9 January. Don't miss it!! And for those who can't make it to Brisbane, fellow member of the organising committee, Ian Murray, is aiming for the best ever internet coverage of Australia's most prestigious chess event. Gary Bekker is aiming for 10 live games from each round of both the Australian Championships and Australian Junior Championships. But we would much rather see you in person in the tournament hall. See you there!!
Full details at www.ozchess2006.com. If your questions are not answered at this site, please phone Graeme Gardiner on 07 5522 7221 or Ian Murray on 07 3411 3445.

A chess cruise for players from Auckland is being organised by the Proud Australia Nature Cruises which runs river boats on the River Murray. The cruise is scheduled for June 2 next year. SA attacking maestro Alan Goldsmith will hold a simul on the Saturday afternoon and a lecture on the Sunday. "I will also try to arrange a social evening/match on the Monday night with many of our local players," says Goldsmith. "The idea of mixing social chess and holidays is a great idea - Terrey Shaw did it for years with Norfolk Island - though I must admit appreciating both sides to a story Evelyn K told me years ago about Gary and an Olympiad team spending an afternoon playing chess on the Seine in Paris - 'But what about the Louvre!' she exclaimed."
Johny Bolens won the 35 player St George Leagues Club Spring Open scoring 8/9 ahead of St George stalwart and International Arbiter Dr Charles Zworestine 7.0 and N.Radev 6.5.
In other news, the Ralph Seberry Memorial Chess Club was opened last week in Gandra, Sri Lanka. Seberry was NSW Champion in 2003. - Peter Parr
Belconnen Club Championships: There were plenty of blunders from the top 3 boards in the second last round. With 1 round to go, junior Khoi Hoang looks set to be the new 2005 Belconnen Club champion (if he loses the last round when he will be equal first.)

Letters: Hi Paul!
It was strange to follow the finish of your first game in Gosford. I guess that Mr. Robinson didn´t play 29.Qd4 and wins. Did he lose on time or what happened?? And your comment on the morning coffee... I thought cigarettes ment more to you...
Keep up the good work with ACF Bulletin
Cheers - Henrik Mortensen
Strange indeed! Actually, the first game had the players' names back to front - as well as the result. It should have been Broekhuyse-Robinson 1-0, rather than Robinson-Broekhuyse 0-1. A strange case of colour blindness. And as regards cigarettes, I'm happy to say I smoked my last about a year ago. - Ed.
Paul
Your efforts re the ACF newsletter are appreciated.
However, the presentation of the games would be so much better and more user friendly in a dynamic click & move format eg PGN. Is this possible?
