World Youth selections
World Youth Championships, Batumi, Georgia, 18 -29 October 2006
The Australian team for these Championships has now been registered with the organisers. Of the original selections, announced some time ago, some have decided not to go. Following my recent notice regarding the u18 category when I called for fresh applications, Zhigen Lin has elected to play in that category instead of as first selection in the u14 category. Zhigen was originally fourth selection in the category. It's worth noting that he is in very good form at present, having finished fifth in the prize list for top board in the World u16 Olympiad just completed in Turkey. The list of entrants as registered is as follows. Where more than one person is mentioned in a category, the first-named person is the one who receives the host-nation benefits. In fact only the u10 is affected.
Under 18: Boys: Zhigen Wilson Lin; Girls: Alex Jule
Coaches: GM Darryl Johansen, IM/WGM Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant, FM Manuel Weeks.

World Seniors Championship, Arvier, Italy, 11 - 22 September 2006
By agreement among the possible participants, there not being time for a formal selection process, Bob Krstic was nominated as the Oceania Zone representative for this event. Bob is the current Australian Senior Champion, having won the title in Brisbane in January. Several other Australians are expected to enter. In the unofficial entry list as at 11 August, there were only two named, Phil Viner and Glenn Gibbs. I understand that Frank Hutchings also entered some time ago and it may be that the player in the entry list called "Frank S Hutching" from New Zealand is indeed our man. Congratulations to Bob on his selection and all the best to him and to the other Australians who play in the event.

Palau International Chess Championship, 31 August to 4 September 2006
Gary Bekker, Oceania Zone President, has told me that there is a spare place in this round-robin event due to a late withdrawal. If anyone is interested in participating they should contact Gary urgently. I understand that the entrant will receive some funding towards his or her expenses. Anyone who applies needs to have a FIDE rating, though not necessarily a really high one. Details of the tournament as they appear on the Oceania link on the ACF website are as follows:

Coaching at the Australian Junior Championship
The ACT Junior Chess League is seeking applications from those interested in coaching ACTJCL players at the Australian Junior Championship, Canberra 2007 http://www.actjcl.org.au/ausjuniors2007/. For the past two years the biggest "away" team competing in the Australian Junior Championship has come from the ACT - we must be doing something right! - so we expect to break all our own records with local participants for a home event. This will create demand for coaching above what we can meet locally. Are you interested in coming on board? We require coaching for all levels - tiny beginners to elite (2000+) - and this may present an opportunity for some interstate coaches who wish to develop their skills and/or are surplus to their local requirements. We have excellent coach to pupil ratios, accommodation on-site from as little as $24/night and a supportive & enthusiastic committee, player & parent group. A full package of information including details of remuneration, our code of conduct and expectations can be obtained from Libby mandesmith@homemail.com.au. Expressions of interest must be lodged by 31 August and appointments will be announced by mid-September.
The NSW Junior Chess League (NSWJCL) is seeking expressions of interest from experienced coaches wishing to coach for NSW at the Australian Junior Championships in Canberra in January 2007, as it wishes to expand its list of coaches to be considered in the selection process that will be conducted later. The number of coaches to be employed by the NSWJCL for the Championships will be determined by the number of NSW players who request coaching. Interested coaches should contact NSW Junior Chess League President, Charles Zworestine, before the end of August, at the following email address: charlesz@ozemail.com.au.
Thanks, and Regards,
Junior Ratings and Development
At the ACF national conference and council meetings in January this year, motions were passed that made use of the ACF Rapid Ratings List free of charge. That is, all tournaments from 15 to 59 minutes for each player may be submitted to the ACF rapid list free of charge. The motion to make this list free was passed primarily for two reasons. Firstly to have the list much more widely used. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly for the development of chess in Australia, it was felt that this list could become a de facto national junior ratings list. All speakers agreed that it would be good for the development of chess in Australia to have the rapid list much more widely used.
The council also agreed that the matter would need to be widely promoted. I have no idea to what extent states have promoted this matter, but I feel I need to do my bit.
In junior chess right around Australia a great deal of rapid chess is played - much more rapid than long chess. In my experience juniors are greatly motivated by ratings. We have been fortunate in Queensland in that David McKinnon has produced a regular ratings list ever since I've been involved, and I know personally that I'm forever being harrassed by juniors asking "when is the new list coming out?". For me, amongst other factors, ratings are the number one motivator for kids involved in chess.
As far as I can ascertain, states with junior lists are:
NSW 2802 (players on latest list)
These figures are only from a cursory look at state webpages, magazines etc. I am very much open to correction. There may be other lists, and my figures may be incorrect. I'd appreciate receiving any extra data or corrections.
Anyway, it would seem that for juniors in vast areas of Australia, they have no opportunity to have a junior rating at present through their own state.
The ACF Rapid list can be treated as a de facto national junior ratings list, with all juniors on the same scale. That means that anyone in Australia who is running a junior event can submit it for ACF Rapid rating through their state ratings officer (using the Swiss Perfect pairings programme).
The idea is not to usurp the excellent work currently being done by junior ratings officers. State junior lists will continue as before.
So if you are involved in any way with organising and promoting junior chess, please send the results in for ACF rapid rating. You've nothing to lose - because it's free!!
Regards
A related letter:
It has come to the notice of the Australian chess community, that the ACF is now rating thousands of rapid games free-of-charge. I have been unable to locate any information on the following matters.
1. Which state proposed the change in policy?
The purpose of this enquiry is to establish if the ACF has adopted a policy that is financially favourable to commercial chess interests, at the expense of ACF revenue foregone.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Yours in Chess
Motion: FIDE rating of ACF events (moved: Denis Jessop/ Seconded: Jey Hoole)
"That the following amendments be made to the ACF Policy on FIDE Fees:
2. Repeal Clause 4a and replace by the following:
For: Denis Jessop, CAQ, Jey Hoole, Bill Gletsos, ACTCA, TCA, NSWCA
Council also noted that the decision to FIDE rate ACF events should rest solely with the ACF and not with the organisers. The ACF President noted the need for a FIDE Rating By-law now that FIDE rated events are becoming more common and stated that this provision could be put in there when the ACF introduces this By-law.
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:-
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
Hello, I just moved to Australia from the Americas and my father is a chess collector. Would like to know where I can find a true Australian chess set for him to add to his collection. It does not have to be a very special collectable item, just something that represents Australia. Any info on where can I find it?
Thanking you in advance,

2. What was the rationale for this change in policy?
3. What is the estimated value of revenue foregone?
4. Are all rapid tournaments rated free-of charge by the ACF, run by affiliates of either 1. ACF, or 2. A state association?
Matthew Sweeney
1. Add the following words to Clause 2a: FIDE rating fees for all ACF events that are allocated pursuant to ACF By-laws and that are to be FIDE rated.
4. Registration and Rating fees for non-ACF Events Fees
a.
(i) Any fees charged in relation to the registration or rating of a FIDE-rated event held in Australia, other than an event to which Clause 2a applies, will be paid by the organisation that requests that it be rated.
(ii) in respect of such an event, the ACF will pay the fees when it is billed by FIDE and the tournament organisers will reimburse the ACF for the amount so paid, provided that the organisers shall pay to the ACF, on account, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the FIDE fees for the event within one month after the conclusion of the event".
