Doeberl Cup The ACT's annual Doeberl Cup Easter tournament attracted an enormous field of 223 players in 3 divisions. The Box Hill Chess Club was represented by 11 players in the premier division, 7 players in the major, and 7 in the minor. I wonder how the organisers coped with these huge numbers. I hope for their sake they did not all play transfer between rounds.
Box Hill Club Championship. First round set to start this Friday April 16. Due to the absence of several of our top juniors for the first round  there will be opportunities for those who cannot attend on this date to play catch up games the following Tuesday. 
After round 2 the field seems to have settled down with 94 players participating. The long awaited return of former BHCC vice president has not taken place and we now hope to see him at the Vic Open

Coffee machine.
In partnership with committee member Marieke Van Dijk I have supplied a percolating coffee maker to the Kitchen. The real coffee it produces is well worth the extra 50 cents per cup.
