No. 366, April 20, 2006
Wishing all our readers an enjoyable holiday break! Lots of news this week with the Doeberl Cup. We're also catching up on some news some of you may have missed due to problems with the ACF website, and in particular, the email-sending program. Last week the ACF website was hacked by persons unknown and the mailing program removed. Curious! Unfortunately, this meant that many people did not receive last week's newsletter, so that info is repeated this week - Ed.

FM Igor Goldenberg, GM Darryl Johansen and Dusan Stojic were equal first in the 2006 Doeberl Cup followed by IM David Smerdon and IM Zong-Yuan Zhao. Goldenberg took the title on tie-break.
Arthur Huynh took out the Major and the Minor was a three-way tie between Yi Yuan, Kenzo Selby and Joshua Christiansen. David Lovejoy won the inaugural Fischerbooks Seniors.
The tournament, a Class 5 Myer Tan Grand Prix event, was held at the Italo-Australian Club in Forrest, Canberra.
As usual, the event was a roaring success, superbly organised by the likes of Paul Dunn, Shaun Press and Charles Zworestine. Special thanks to Charles Zworestine for the Swiss Perfect files, Amiel Rosario for the pictures and Paul Dunn for the PGN.

Few surprises in round 3, although NSW star George Xie recorded his third draw, this time to the fast-improving SA junior James Obst.
Round 4 was memorable chiefly for a forfeit - Achim Gunter Hoffmann handed a point to Goldenberg when Hoffman's mobile phone rang during the game. GM Ian Rogers dropped half a point to Tomek Rej.

Ly's luck ran out in the final round, with Johansen winning an instructive game. Goldenberg hung on to draw against Zhao, and young Victorian Dusan Stojic beat NSW's Gareth Charles with a spectacular tactical flourish. Ian Rogers' run of bad luck continued, when he could only draw against Vincent Suttor.

Trevor Tao has won the SA championships despite a last round loss. Edgar Mdinaradze upset the champion after being forced to defend for most of the game. In a drawn endgame, Tao handed him a victory with a shocking blunder. Second place was shared by Srbo Zaric and James Obst who beat Bob Cowley and John Riches respectively. Tristan Stevens upset Alan Goldsmith and Aaron Guthrie beat Matthew Juszczynski in the other two games.
Banned players: The ACF Council has decided that Aurel-John Buciu's two-year suspension from ACF events be continued until July 2007, but be applied to the 2006 Australian Championships and 2007 Australian Open Championships only.

Aussie Internet Chess - report by Alan Goldsmith and Alex Saint
Our first Australian Internet Championship - the Junior Interstate Challenge - has been a great success. There were naturally teething troubles and many phone calls but by the last round it was apparent that all the players had worked out what to do and were concentrating not on 'how to play' but rather 'what to play' - the quality of the games was much better and they were great to watch.
And now that everyone has proved that a tournament can be run across Australia over a number of weeks, it is obvious that the future for Internet chess tournaments here is simply huge. There is a fear that the Internet will take players away from regular events but we believe the very opposite is true - more people are playing chess than ever before thanks to the Internet and many will take part in face-to-face combat if they are given the opportunity; we are hoping in fact to have hybrid interclub matches in Adelaide soon where players who are unable to play their club match for a particular reason can still take part by playing their opponent in the Chess Centre from their own home - it will be particularly good for the disabled players who cannot attend a regular club but want all the fun of being part of a team. Another important element of playing on the Internet is that of practice - it is where even the grandmasters workout and indeed if they do not practise on the Internet they will be at a decided disadvantage.
We have lots of plans for coming events, including Open events for adults as well as juniors and we envisage that soon we will have interclub matches across Australia; one idea which is very appealing is that of matches between regional centres - Ballarat to Kalgoorlie, Coffs Harbour to Mt Gambier, Coober Pedy to Mt Isa etc. And the secret to it really is trust - we simply assume that the players who take part will not cheat and will enjoy playing in their own environment. We are also being approached by countries like New Zealand and regions like North California to arrange matches.
Australian Junior Internet Championship
The next event is the 2006 Australian Junior Internet Championship (followed a week later by an adult tournament!) and there are already details about these on the website - you can register now. In fact, please encourage every youngster you know to register and take part - let's make this the biggest junior tournament in Australia's history - and remember that all players will get 2 months free membership on ICC.
There are two divisions - the Championship and the Candidates. Please enter the Championship if you are an experienced tournament player (or are receiving serious coaching etc) or enter the Candidates if you are new to chess and/or the Internet. The Candidates tournament is also played at a faster rate - 30 minutes per player, rather than 60 minutes per player. There is a $20 entry fee to cover the 6 week event and there will be many prizes, trophies and certificates.
There have been however some very important changes:
- The starting time for our future events is 6.30pm EST, not 7pm and this means that for most players, the tournaments will be finished by 8.30pm each Sunday night, not 9pm.
- The games must be played on the Sunday night - if you want you can have two half-point byes if you are unable to play in two rounds but any more will be treated as forfeits.
- We are starting the Australian Junior Championship on May 7th - a week earlier than previously advertised but it allows us to avoid some clashes with some important over-the-board tournaments.
Open interstate challenge on ICC and Open interstate major challenge on FICS - generally for the long-suffering adults!!
These tournaments are for the adults amongst us - and yes, of course juniors can take part but we'd prefer them to take part in the Junior Championships. As the names imply, these first events represent an Interstate Challenge - any number of players can take part in these giant Swiss tournaments but they will not be paired against players from the same State - we will simply add up the scores of the top 8 players from each State at the end of 6 rounds to decide the winning State for both the Open and the Major. Anyone can play in the Open Challenge while the Major is restricted to players rated under 2000.
As you may have noticed, the Open will take place on the ICC (Internet Chess Club) while the Major will take place on FICS (Free Internet Chess Club). We are very grateful to all the support we have received from ICC - especially the free 2 month membership to all those who take part in their first tournament - and we encourage all who enjoyed the experience to register properly and start gaining a serious rating. There is, though, a charge involved, one which many, many of Australia's top players are prepared to pay and all will agree that they get wonderful value for their money - please check our website for the special rates that you can get if you join ICC through us. Testimony to the success of ICC is the huge number of players always online and the number of grandmasters etc.
The other very popular chess server in the world however is FICS which is free and has many similar features to ICC. And just as there are many passionate supporters of ICC, so too there are many very happy players on FICS. It is a bit like some people use PCs, others Macintoshes. We don't particularly want to favour either server since we are just very grateful that both are alive and well and have been giving many chess players years of pleasure. And so, since we have had so many requests to run a FICS tournament we have decided to run the Major on FICS at the same time as that of the Open on ICC.
This is the current plan - but things may change and we welcome any feedback about this.
Please check our website http://www.ausnetchess.org for the latest news.
Finally, to wrap up the first event - the Interstate Junior Challenge, congratulations to the ACT on winning the first event with 46.5 points from a possible 60. 2nd was NSW with 45, followed by VIC on 32.5, SA on 24.5 QLD 21 and TAS on 10.5.
