World Youth u16 Chess Olympiad
The World Youth u16 Olympiad is to be held in Agri, Turkey, from 5 to 13 August 2006. Teams of 4 players will compete. A team to represent Australia was chosen earlier this year and its composition was finalised recently. The team, in board order, is Zhigen Wilson Lin, Rukman Vijayakumar, Ben Harris and Derek Yu. They will be accompanied by two parents, Max Harris and Srikanthy Vijayakumar who will be Team Managers.
As at 26 July, 110 players were registered comprising teams from 22 countries. Most of these are from Aisa, the Middle East and nearby Eastern European countries but there are also teams from Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa and Canada.
Our team is looking forward to an interesting and challenging event and the Australian Chess Federation wishes them the best of good fortune.
Information regarding the event can be obtained from the Turkish Chess Federation Website at www.tsf.org.tr. For an English language version, click on the Union flag at the top left of the home page.

World Youth Chess Championships - Under 18 Boys
This event is to be held in Batumi, Georgia, a Black Sea resort, from 18 to 29 October 2006. Entries close on 18 August 2006 after which a late fee of 100 Euros is payable.
Last week we announced that the ACF Council had selected Dusan Stojic for this category. All of the players originally selected had either decided not to go or are the no. 1 selection for a younger age group.
Some complications have arisen in that Dusan has not accepted selection as requested. The ACF Council has instructed me to call for fresh applications to represent Australia in this category. Because of time pressures, it may not be possible to hold a normal selection process. Any interested player should contact me within 7 days of the date of this Newsletter, supplying the information required by the ACF Selection Procedures By-laws. Please do not send communications to Brett Tindall as I believe he is overseas until some time in August. A convenient note of the information required is on the form used for the original selections and can be found here.
Previous applicants can apply. The ACF does not necessarily undertake to select anyone as the u 18 category is of a very high standard and we want our representative to be of a sufficient strength to acquit himself well.

World Seniors Chess Championship
The World Seniors Championship is to be held in Arvier, Valle d'Aosta, Italy from 11 to 23 September 2006. Entries close on 15 August 2006.
In the past the ACF has held a selection for representation at this event. But this year, the regulations for the event do not seem to give any special benefits to the first selection of a national federation or to require national federation endorsement of entries. Instead, they give free accommodation to one player per FIDE Zone which makes selection of the player somewhat impractical for the Oceania Zone. I am seeking clarification from the organisers on these matters.
Meanwhile, as time is running short, I suggest that any Australian person interested in playing should contact the organisers direct and copy their communication to me at

Aussies overseas: International Master Aleksandar Wohl of Wilsons Creek, NSW, rated 2428, was seeded 18th in the Oberwart Open in Austria but finished 6th - 12th equal in the 158 player event scoring 6.5/9.
The Kincoppal Czeckeroos under 12 team (A.Tayeh, J.Sitch, S.Soltysik, J.Steyn) from Sydney scored 11.5/28 in the World School Teams (U 16) Championship in Pardubice, Czech Republic. FIDE Trainer and FIDE Master Brett Tindall, the team coach, is now competing in the Pardubice Open with 1825 players from 46 countries. Tindall (2267) is seeded 273 in the 406 player main event which has 231 titled players including 58 GM's and 120 IM's. Tindall lost to IM Klimov (RUS 2481) and drew with Mukhlisov (RUS 2114) in the first two rounds. Top seed is GM David Navara (CZE 2719) - Peter Parr
The 2006 World Youth Chess Tournament, endorsed by FIDE, is being held from 18th to 29th Oct, 2006 in Batumi, Georgia. The World Youth Australian Chess Team would very much appreciate all financial support from the wider Chess community that will be helping to invest in the future of Junior Chess. The categories for the event are U18, U16, U14, U12, U10, U8 for both boys & girls. To date, there are 18 players who have committed to go. However, the costs to represent Australia at such an event incurs enormous costs (e.g. airfares, coaching, uniforms etc...), and many good players are unable to go.
Unlike Australia, various countries such as USA, China, Vietnam, India will be sending a large contingent as they have funding. We therefore urgently seek your support as the sport of chess is not supported by any Government funding.
All donors will be published on the ACF newsletter. In addition, they will also receive a daily bulletin email on the progress of the Australian Junior Chess Team during the event.
All donations are gladly welcome (even anonymous) and cheques can be made payable to the Australian Chess Federation and posted to Eunice Koh to:-

Letters: Dear Paul,
"Council reviewed and accepted the submitted report and audited financial statements for the 2006 Australian Championships and the 2006 Australian Junior events that were held in Brisbane." ACF Newsletter #378
Has the ACF accepted or received a report for the 2005 Australian Open events in Mt Buller? If not, when will it ever be available to our state delegates? Far from instilling confidence for in the ACF, this unresolved matter is the kind of administration that potential long-term sponsors may view as indicating unacceptable risk.
