Younger players dominate NW Tasmanian junior chess event: report by Russell Horton
Two younger players took out the major chess divisions in the North West Tasmanian Junior Championships hosted by the Burnie Chess Club. Under 14 player Alastair Dyer won the U18 championships and Under 10 Player Vincent Horton won the U12 Championship. They were undefeated in the seven round competition.
Both players have been very successful in adult tournaments around the state and were in top form yesterday, showing they have strong chances to take out the upcoming state junior championships.
The North West Championship was conducted yesterday with players from Strahan, Latrobe Sheffield, Burnie and the Central Coast making up a record field of 42 for the individual titles.
Competition was very close in many divisions with countbacks being used to determine runners up. A major surprise was the performance of another under 10 player, Miles Deka, who played his best tournament, finishing in second place in the U12 division. He was awarded the Under 10 title with 5.5 points from 7 games. Local Ulverstone Club players accounted for seven of the medals on offer and will be celebrating this week at their club.
Charlie Smith and Kevin Hendrey had a great contest for overall second place in the U18 division. Both players faced each other in a crucial deciding match and fought out a draw to equal each other with 5.5 points. Latrobe players featured well and their coach Tim Jolly was ecstatic with the 3 medal haul for his players. Ulverstone players Nina Horton and Aisling McCullough took out he U18 and U16 girls prizes and will have their eyes on a state title.

ACF decisions: The ACF has approved the following motions.
1. Travel grants for Juniors, payable to the the first selection in each case.
2. That By-law 2 of the By-laws for ACF Tournaments be amended by omitting the words "Junior titles ( " [junior] " ) will be awarded in the categories of Junior, Under-16, Under-14, Under-12, Under-10, Girls, Girls Under-16, Girls Under-14, Girls U-12 and Girls U-10."
and inserting the words
"Junior titles ( " [junior] " ) will be awarded in the separate categories of Junior (under 18), Under 16, Under 14, Under 12, Under 10, and Under 8 and Girls (under 18), Girls Under 16, Girls Under 14, Girls Under 12, Girls Under 10, and Girls Under 8."
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

World Youth Chess Tournament
Donations for the World Youth Chess this week include:-
I would also appeal to those who can donate non-cash raffle items such as vouchers, accommodation, frequent flyer points etc.
Thanks very much on behalf of the Team.
Best regards
These young players are the future of Aussie chess - so please give generously! - Ed
