No. 341, November 4, 2005
NSW Championships Max Fuller (left) and Andrew Bird (right) will play off for the title. Greg Canfell won his round 9 game against Quentin Reitmans to take outright third place.
The result marks the remarkable return to top-flight chess of Maxwell Fuller, 60, who won the NSW title in 1965, 1986 and 1988 (shared).
If he wins the title this year, he will break C.J.S. Purdy's record of 33 years between first and last NSW Championship titles. Fuller was Australia's top player in the mid-70s when he reached a FIDE rating of 2450. He was twice equal second in the British championship in 1970 and 1975, Australian Junior Champion 1962, and won the Doeberl Cup three times, Australian Open three times and was joint Australian Champion in 1972. Max did not play chess for eight years after a quadruple bypass in 1996, but returned to chess in 2004 and took equal second in the NSW championship of that year.
Andrew Bird, aged just 26, is professional chess coach - and credits that occupation for his dramatic increase in strength.
Bird only started playing competitive chess eight years ago at age 18. He won the NSW under 1600 in1999, and has since won the Berger Cup and taken the scalp of the current Australian Champion in the western suburbs inter-club competition. Bird says that the continual reinforcement of basic principles and chess theory in his daily work has helped his game.
Final Scores (8 rounds):
Andrew Bird and Max Fuller are in discussions for a 4-game match for the title by the end of the year.
