Wendy Terry RIP: One the great figures of Queensland chess, Wendy Terry, has passed away. The ACF offers its condolences to her husband Clive, her family and friends. IM Stephen Solomon wrote this tribute:
Vale Wendy Terry
On behalf of all chess players, I would like to report the sad passing of a great chess personality, Wendy Anne Terry. She passed away on Sunday 5th June, after rather sudden liver failure. She was 62 years of age.
Wendy was a great organiser and coach of junior chess. She was a great ambassador for the ethics of the game, and started the Qld Veterans' and Disabled Championships during the 80s. For many years she was the main organiser of the Qld Women's and Girls championships, of which my wife, Janeen, won six. I remember when I first moved to Queensland in 1984, Janeen was playing in the Qld Womens', and the venue was the MS Centre at Dutton Park. Wendy, and her long-time friend Gail Young, were the main organisers. Nerida Powell and Andrea Terry were Janeen's main rivals in the tournament.
I have just been to the funeral, held at St Oliver Plunkett Catholic Church at Cannon Hill on Wednesday at 10.30am. There were about 100 people there; quite a few youngsters who had been coached by Wendy very recently. Also many of her family and friends. Some of the chess personalities there were Brian Wilcox, Alan Thomas, Bill Powell and his wife, Ian Murray, Graeme Gardiner, Connie Pizzato, Lionel Smerdon, Evan Pass, John Guest, Patrick Byrom, Victor Uscinski, Craig and Allinta Rose and David McKinnon.
Wendy was a special influence to us all; when you were with her you knew you were with a sincere and honest person. She had an excellent track record of identifying talent and then bringing them up to the very promising level. Charles Pizzato and David Smerdon are two. Also Andrew Meldrum, Paul Kalokerinos and Steven Sengstock. I could go on, and actually she has coached hundreds of juniors from the very beginner stage. She often passed them on to myself once they were at a certain level, which was at least her own strength of about 1400.
It was about 25 years ago when she started her Rookies Chess Club with her husband, Clive. They had two sessions one afternoon each week; for a long time it was at St Peter's school in Balmoral near their house at Morningside. Recently they coached at Cleveland. It was in the mid-70s when Wendy became interested in chess, around the same time as she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and soon after was confined to a wheelchair. She was greatly influenced by Anna Anskey, and she has organised Women's and Girls' Chess ever since. Clive and she were the treasurer and secretary for the CAQ for about five years also, and did a great job in a difficult period.
I remember an amusing incident at a tournament at the German Club about 18 years ago. I was playing Wendy in the second round, and she was playing very well and we reached a level ending. I was feeling like a cuppa, made my move, and before pressing my clock asked her if she would like a cup of coffee, and pressed my clock. She gave the biggest smile and reached out to shake hands; she thought I had offered a draw (unfortunately I have a habit of winning those positions). I remember Andrea gave me some tough games, and she won the Queensland Women's Championship in 1985. Chris didn't play chess, but I see him quite often at squash courts. He has always been a better squash player than me, at mid-A grade range.
Wendy is survived by her husband Clive, son Chris, daughter Andrea and two grandchildren.
We love you Wendy, and may you rest in peace in God's Kingdom. We'll see you there one day!
- Stephen Solomon.
Graeme and Wendy Gardiner write:
Wendy's husband Clive reports that after struggling with health problems for the last 6 months, Wendy passed away at 10am on Sunday 5th June after two days of hard struggle.
Many of you will know that Wendy ran the Rookies Chess Club in Wynnum for many years and was heavily involved with the Queensland Women's Chess League. Many top players, both male and female, have been through Wendy's club over the years. Wendy and Clive for years ran the Chess Association of Queensland as Secretary and Treasurer.
Wendy was for a long time the Queensland rep on the Australian Women's Chess League. Wendy was a great advocate for equity issues involving disabled people. She created and organised the Queensland Veterans and Disabled Championships.
Her energy and achievements were even more remarkable as she was confined to a wheelchair for many years with multiple sclerosis.
Wendy loved the sport of chess, and regrettably she never quite managed to win the Queensland Women's title, although her daughter Andrea won it in 1985.
Up until very recently she was still coaching chess to students at Cleveland Primary School.
Wendy will be sadly missed by the chess community, especially in Queensland.

Last week we reported that
ACF President Denis Jessop had written an article on the role and functions of the Australian Chess Federation. View it here (Word document) or
here (html). Here's Part 1 of the article:
The Australian Chess Federation Inc. (ACF) An outline by Denis Jessop, ACF President Introduction In this paper I shall address the questions 1. What is the ACF?; 2. What can the ACF do?; 3. What does the ACF do?, and 4. What should the ACF do. Quite often we see an assertion that the ACF should, or should not, do something. More often than not, a further reading of the assertion reveals that its proponent is unaware of the structure and powers of the ACF and that the assertion is inconsistent with those things. The general purpose of this paper is to clarify these matters for interested readers. I should mention that any opinions expressed in this paper are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of the ACF Council. Part 1. What is the ACF? Paradoxically, this question is as much one of what the ACF is not as of what it is. a. The ACF’s Constitutional structure The ACF is a Federation of affiliated State and Territory Chess Associations. Formally, it also consists of Associated Bodies and Honorary Life Members but these have no direct role in the affairs of the ACF, being non-voting observers. The ACF is an Association incorporated, now, under the Associations Incorporation legislation of the Australian Capital Territory. It was formed in 1922 as an unincorporated body. It was first incorporated on 12 February 1987. Its incorporation is significant as, first, it thereby has a legal identity separate from its affiliates and, secondly, it must act in accordance with its Constitution. An attempt by it to act beyond its constitutional powers could be restrained by Court order, if necessary. All the six Australian State Chess Associations and the Australian Capital Territory Chess Association are affiliated. The Associated Bodies are the Junior Chess Leagues of NSW and the ACT, the Australian Womens Chess League and the Correspondence Chess League of Australia. The ACF is governed by a Council comprised of one delegate of each affiliated association and an executive consisting of a President, a Deputy President, two Vice Presidents, a Secretary and a Treasurer. Each has one vote at Council meetings. The Immediate Past President is also a non-voting member for the 12 months after he ceased to be President. The ACF has an annual general meeting (in effect) called the Annual National Conference comprised of delegates from each affiliated Association, the number of which is determined by the population of the relevant State or Territory at the most recent Australian census. The current representation is NSW 7, Victoria 5, Queensland 4, South Australia 2, Western Australia 2, Tasmania 1 and ACT 1 - a total of 22. The executive officers attend the Conference but do not, as such, have a vote. The ACF also has additional office bearers appointed by the Council and, as mentioned above, Associated Bodies representing special interests or geographical areas and Honorary Life Members. These may attend the National Conference as non-voting observers. It is customary for representatives of Associated Bodies, and for certain of the appointed office bearers, to be invited to participate in Council meetings as non-voting observers. As such they provide valuable input to the Council. b. The Council and the Executive For practical purposes the Council is the ACF as it makes all important decisions on day-to-day matters. The Executive officers, and notably the President, act subject to the approval of the Council. The Constitution provides that the President is the chief executive officer but his specified duties are very restricted. One of the potentially more powerful is to make decisions on matters of urgency that arise between Council meetings after consultation with as many Councillors as is reasonable in the circumstances. But now that the Council is authorised to decide matters by e-mail and that electronic communication is so quick, that power has effectively disappeared as it is almost always practicable to organise an e-mail vote of all Councillors at very short notice. This aspect is important because some critics of the ACF often contend that the President should do this or that when he has no constitutional authority to do so. c. What the ACF is not. It is important to understand that the ACF’s powers are limited by reason of its constitutional structure. This is often ignored or apparently not appreciated by persons asserting that the ACF should take a certain kind of action. First, the ACF is not a body directly representing individual Australian chess players. There is no individual ACF membership. Nor does the ACF directly represent Australian chess clubs. There is no procedure enabling chess clubs to affiliate with the ACF, except in the theoretical, but unlikely, role of an Associated Body with limited rights. Individual chess players need to look to their chess club or to their State Association for direct input on chess matters, in accordance with the constitution of their respective State Associations. Likewise chess clubs will in most cases be affiliated with a State Association to which they may put their views. That is the situation as it is, not necessarily as it ought to be. Possibilities for change will be referred to in Part 4 of this paper.
Gold Coast Open, Robina Town Centre, Sat/Sun 18/19 June - $3,000 in Prizes
This event is rated by our national magazine 'Australian Chess' as Australia's third most important weekender after the Doeberl Cup and Ballarat Begonia. Reigning champion, Grandmaster Ian Rogers will be playing, as he has done for the last 12 years. He is unlikely to get it all his own way as our visiting GM from Germany, Roland Schmaltz is very likely to be playing. And of course our local star IM Stephen Solomon never lets the GMs get off easily. WIM Arianne Caoili, who lives at Robina, is also an almost certain entrant.
In recent years we have had sufficient players and playing strength to split the event into open and under 1600 sections. This has worked very well, with a lot of much closer games and less mis-matches. We very much hope to get a good turnout of adults in addition to the strong contingent of juniors who always gain much from the experience.
The Gold Coast Chess Club looks forward to welcoming you all to its flagship tournament. An entry form can be found at the Gardiner Chess webpage (what's coming up soon), and entry can be made using your credit card via 'pay online' at www.gardinerchess.com.

Meanwhile, Bobby Fischer has declared his willingness to play either Kasparov or Karpov in random chess.
Grandmaster Andor Lilienthal celebrated his 94th birthday last month in
Budapest, Hungary. He played ten world champions in tournaments defeating
five of them Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik and Smyslov. He
sacrificed his queen in the following brilliant game played more than

Study links diseases to intelligence Link
A team of scientists at the University of Utah has proposed that the unusual pattern of genetic diseases seen among Jews of European origin, or Ashkenazis, is the result of natural selection for enhanced intellectual ability. Among the evidence for the "enhanced intellectual ability" is the fact that a quarter of Nobel Prize winners and half of all world chess champions were Ashkenazi Jews.
