Tuesday summer swiss
Well the Tuesday Summer swiss did come to the
promised to exiting finish. David and Shane locked together on 5 with Luke only
half a point behind and this is how it finished. Aquick win for David on board
one and one of the longest games ever witnessed between Luke and Shane, where
Shane went from a win to a draw to a loss on time. Actually the most fascinating
game was on board 3 between Laurie Dalton and Anurag Sannidhanam The pair had
met the week before in the Friday Xmas swiss with a win to Anurag This time
Laurie managed to reverse the result. I think laurie had an edge throughout the
game but Anurag ever recourceful kept finding good moves almost until the end.
Here is the final cross table

BOX
HILL CHESS CLUB 55th Birthday Celebration
When
the Committee first considered holding a celebration to mark our 55th
anniversary of formation the key question was, “Will anyone come to a Chess
Club Birthday Celebration?”
Leading
up to the day of the celebration, Sunday the 16th of December 2007,
there was some nervous organisers as interest was not apparently overwhelming.
However,
the enthusiasm of our energetic President, Gladys Liu, is contagious and a good
crowd arrived at 5pm to be greeted by fresh seafood salads, hot pizzas, and
drinks. Quickly the many juniors settled into playing the social TRANSFER and
BLITZ, while seniors such as Scott Sharman, David Flude, Roger Croft, Elliott
Renzies, Marcus Raine, Trevor Stanning, and Laurie Dalton played more sedate
styles of chess and debated the merits of chess variants.
A
definite attraction was a couple of GO players who challenged Derek Yu and Chris
Wallis in this Asian board-game, and showed that there is a lot to be learned in
the deceptively simple game.
6pm
came and it was time for speeches. (And in the background, time for Rachel Siah
to order another delivery of pizzas as the good turnout had made short work of
the first order).
Gladys
highlighted the success of Box Hill CC in the chess community and the blossoming
of the Canterbury Juniors Chess Club, which was supported in its formative years
by Box Hill.
Gerrit
Hartland gave a full history of significant occasions for the Box Hill club.
Gary
Wastell, President of the Australian Chess Federation, spoke in appreciation of
the teamwork by the Box Hill Committee over many years.
Robert
Clark, local State Parliamentary member, said he appreciated how significant it
was for a voluntary organisation, such as a chess club, to still be going strong
after 55 years.
Then
it was time for Gladys to introduce the piece de resistance’, a special
cake with the decorations having a chess-board theme, topped by fruit pieces
dripped in chocolate and carved as chess pieces. Of course we sang the happy
birthday song.
My
favourite part of the day was the unveiling of a brand-new honour-board to
record Box Hill Chess Club champions and presidents. It is a mighty sight and
our thanks to the donors who supported the fund-raising earlier in the year.
I
spoke with Elliott Renzies after the ceremonies and he said he had a tear in his
eye during the speeches.
A
tear of joy at being part of a lovely social occasion.
It
was time for farewells and best wishes at 8.30pm.
Well-done
Gladys and Rachel and their helpers.

December 9 Rookies and Queens cup by Gerry
Hartland
The last of the Rookies and Queens Cup
tournaments for 2007 was our best tournament ever. Wonderful crowd and
constantly improving juniors. The highly rated Jesse Sales who finished with a
picket fence score won the adult section. The Rookies was shared between Rukman
Vijayakumar and Nicholas Liu. Sarah Anton again took the Queens Cup.
As predicted the overall Rookies winner was Cedric Antolis and The Queens
Cup winner was Sarah Anton.
I would like to thank our sponsor Z chess in
the person of George Zaprutsky, who has stood by us throughout the year,
Antoinette Ziffer who with her catering and her students took the 2007
tournaments to a new level, Trevor Stanning for his expertise with the entries
and Swiss perfect, and the senior members of the club in particular Leon Kempen
and David Flude who in their different ways added colour and stability

AUGUST
ROOKIES AND QUEENS CUP
Sunday the
12th of August was slow to arrive as a fine drizzle of rain seemed
like a lid in the sky of Melbourne. If this were a report on football it would
be colloquially known as ‘Game Day’. But for the chess club it matters not,
as we just switch the gas heaters on earlier and wait for the entrants to
arrive.
I am
pleasantly surprised by the early entry of a few strong adult players; the more
adults that take advantage of this tourney opportunity the better the rating
reliability factor becomes.
Some
juniors seem to delight in lodging their entry via the entry form on our web
page; this gets them through the queue very quickly.
It soon
becomes apparent to me that Toni Ziffer (one of the school coaches) has been
active again to drum-up attendance of her students and some accompanying
parents. They are always a strong social group and a plus for the tournament.
We have
entrants from Mt Eliza (Rhys Hopkins), Pakenham (Vivienca Luong and Eric Tsai-Luong),
showing that distance is no real hindrance to the enthusiastic.
For round
1 we code the computer to produce accelerated pairings; which basically means
the top see (the #1 seed) plays the 15th seed rather than the 30th
seed. This strategy ensures competitive games in round 1. Nevertheless, in the
first 8 pairings the higher-rated player wins his/her game. But on board 9
Justin Tan caused an upset against Dmitri Dyson. Justin has had some good
results elsewhere recently. There was only one draw in the first round…board
24 Brad Chick v Alexander McGill. A very good contest saw Arun Bhanot take a
full point from Punala Jayath Kiripitige.
For round
2 we retained the acceleration on the pairings thus producing some tight pairing
contests on the top boards. Samuel Chan upset David Flude on board 4, while
Savithri Narenthran did well to defeat Eric Tsai-Luong.
We removed
the acceleration code in round 3 and this tends to produce a few one-sided
games. On board15 Arun Bharot had a fine win over Sarah Anton; Sarah has been in
terrific form in the Noble Park Championship.
In round 4
Max Maddock had his best result by defeating Jusuf Omeragic.
The
sensation of round 5 was Leon Kempen’s (1797) win on the top board against
Jesse Sales (2101). This threw the tournament wide-open for the first cash
prize.
Into the
final round and the upsets kept occurring Luke Higham beat Leon Kempen on board
1. Sarah Anton beat David Flude on board 4. Justin Tan drew with Efrain Tionko.
Michael Wong defeated Raymond Lok Chan.
At the
prize-ceremony we introduced a new award…the Toni Award…for the best placed
(bottom-division) newcomer. The trophy was won by Isaac Traill, to the delight
of his friends and the photographer.
Full
results are available on our web-site.
TRANS TASMAN TYROS
TRY-OUT
The second game of the 3 game matches between Bobby Cheng (NZ junior) versus
Chris Wallis (Box Hill and Vic Junior champion started with a win to Chris.
Bobby will need to make inroads with black this time if he wants to keep his
changes alive.

INTERCLUB RESULTS
Last Friday was yet another disaster day for Canterbury A losing 4 – 0 again,
this time to fellow club members Box Hill A. However Box Hill A remains in the
wake of the strong Noble Park team which beat Darkhorse 3.5 - 0.5
Canterbury B is in good shape for
the final with a 4 – 0 win over a depleted Darkhorse team. Even with the bye
coming up they cannot be beaten out of first. Runner up is still wide open.
C and D grade is hard to pick.
There are too many forfeits in this grade and players need to learn that
interclub competions are a commitment to the team and unavilability must be
announced well in advance so substitutions can be made. Full results are shown
on the CV website: http://chessvictoria.netfirms.com

TRANS TASMAN TYROS TRY-OUT
The 3 game match between Bobby Cheng (NZ junior) versus Chris Wallis (Box Hill

choice of colours [a handicap in a 3 game match]. The game was a long one with
Chris coming out the winner. The DGT board did not function. The sponsorship
money is $100 for first $50 for second. The game will be posted as soon as it
comes to hand.

co-ordinate and attend our Sunday Coaching groups.
A moderate fee of $60 will be available.
The job will consist of opening up the premises at 10.30 and closing at 2.30
Record attendance of Sunday morning participants and ensure they are financial
or that casual fees are paid.
Record attendance of Sunday afternoon novice attendants and ensure they are
financial or that casual fees are paid.
Provide casual coaching advise to parents and visitors who come to the venue for
social chess and accept and record the $5 participation fee.
Communicate with the club captain and the treasurer.
Organise small tournaments if the demand is there.
The job probably best shared between friends.
Past experience is that
there is quiet time in the job and the individual may use the time to study if
no other duties are occurring
Contact the club captain Gerry Hartland by phone at 9878 3163 or by email:

JULY SUNDAY TOURNAMENT a report
After the
huge crowd of 76 players at the June ROOKIES the Committee put their thinking
caps on to plan the running of the July ROOKIES event a bit more efficiently. We
spent some effort in setting out the Hall differently and having everything
ready for play before the crowds arrived. Thanks to Efrain Tionko and a few who
arrived early for their assistance.
The field
size at the start of the first round was a healthy 46 (always nice to have an
even number), and the highest rated player was Jesse Sales (FIDE rating higher
than 2000).
But there
was a gremlin at work again as our printer refused to print on command. Problem
was solved in a couple of minutes and games were underway.
The
tea-room was doing good business with Christine Qin attentive to all customers.
Thanks for this Christine.
At the
prize-giving ceremony at 5pm there were happy faces for

AN
INTERVIEW BY ELLIOTT RENZIES
To the surprise of many I [Gerry Hartland]
gave the following interview to popular club reporter Elliott Renzies. How could
I not after his flattering critique of my artwork [see my web site: http://gerryhartland.netfirms.com]
Captain, how long have you been involved with the administration
part of Chess?
Since the late 60s when I joined the Box Hill Chess Club.
What was the reason you actually were involved in the first place?
I
remember I was made a club delegate for the Box Hill Chess Club for a VCA
meeting in Latrobe Street [where the MCC was then] where there was some
controversy involving the club the details of which I have long forgotten and I
was savaged by John Hanks and Eddy Militias so when election time came my fellow
club delegate held up my hand on the assumption that I had to put my money where
my mouth was.
Judging from my own experience, you are a strong player,
and definitely underrated. Have your administrational duties affected your
playing in terms of strength as well as participation?
They
have indeed. I have always believed administrators should be given bonus rating
points say 100 points every time they get denigrated on chess chat
You are a well-respected personality in the Victorian as
well as in the Australian Chess Community… You are working very hard! I mean
apart from your duties as President of Chess Victoria, you are the Captain of
the Box Hill / Canterbury Juniors Chess Club, a remarkable artist, and a keen
traveller! In between you manage to win medals in All Australian Veteran
swimming events!!! How do you do it?
Well
the swimming is easy in the over 75s. You
dive in one end and if and when you get out the far end they give you a medal.
In my case 3 bronze ones.
OK let’s go back to Chess and your duties. You
undertook the responsibility of becoming the President of CV at a (for some
turbulent, for some others stagnated) stage of affairs. What are your first
experiences during that approximately half year since you were elected?
I
am discouraged by the lack of interest I have encountered.
Do you think that everything is ok and under control
now, or are there still things that need change?
Only
a relative small part of our program has been carried out and that has hardly
set the world on fire there are many changes that need to be made and many more
people who need to become involved
What
are your immediate plans for the future as far as the direction of CV is
concerned?
My
personal ambitions go no further than the next general meeting
It
would have been nice to have some more people involved
Now, let’s get back to your other involvement and, I
presume, one of the loves of your life, and I am talking about the Box Hill /
Canterbury Junior Chess Club. Has the Club recovered yet from the tremendous
blow of being in effect “kicked out” from its old base?
The
junior club has more than recovered. We have twice as many members twice as many
coaching opportunities and twice as many parents in our support group. The Box
Hill Chess Club is still in recovery mode, but with our new active committee led
by an active and supportive president I think we are getting there.
Are you happy with the new venue?
I
am happy with the way the venue is shaping up. However we still struggle with
access and the kitchen facilities. I am also satisfied with the use Chess
Victoria has been able to make of the premises
Many members of the Victorian Chess Community are simply
astounded by the success of certain activities of the Club. We see organised
adult coaching, ever-increasing junior classes, people filling the Club’s
rooms in every public function, parents actively participating! What is the
secret of making the Club so successful in these regards?
It
is no secret. It is the drive of our new president who has the ability to work
outside the square or should I say outside the 64 squares
Yet, there are claims that the membership has not yet
recovered in numbers since the Club left its original well-known base at Box
Hill. People are also saying that the Club’s tournaments are not that
successful as they used to be! What is your opinion?
That
is quite true, although your question should perhaps have read ‘not as
successful’ The figures tell their own story The Box Hill open for example
since 2004 has attracted these numbers
2004
/ 118, 2005 / 104, 2006 / 88 the lowest figure since 2002 when there were 86
entrants.
. When did you first realise that Chess was going to
play a part in your life?
Never
thought about it
Who were your Chess idols when you started playing serious Chess?
Who are your favourite players now?
I liked Euwe, fellow
countryman, phlegmatic, gracious, [offered me a draw in a simul], Dutch jokes,
Who was your first Chess mentor?
Did
not have one
Did you grow up in Chess playing surroundings?
Certainly not. But I do remember taking a slight interest in Ewe’s battle to
regain his world championship title in 1948 was it? Where the poor chap forever
seem to be a pawn down at the adjournment
How much support did you have by your family for your Chess
activities?
As far
as chess is concerned we are ships that pass in the night, although my grand son
seems to take an interest. He is however somewhat handicapped by his insistence
on putting the white pieces on the white squares and the black pieces on the
black squares
What
are the greatest achievements of your Chess career?
My draw against
Ian Rogers when he was 8
Who do you think is the most influential Chess player of modern
times?
I
would say Fischer for the way he changed the way people thought about chess
The strongest?
No idea
The
one whose playing styles you have been inspired by and have tried to adopt?
Always
followed the sound of my own drum, but I do have pet openings like the Morra
gambit, The Nimzo indian, the centre counter
The one that you always wanted to meet?
I
might let that one go through to the keeper
Who is your favourite Australian Chess player?
Cecil
Purdy; I knew him well
Who is Australia’s most promising young player?
I am looking for another Denis Bourmistrov
Would you describe the Chess Chat Forum’s importance for Chess in
Australia as major, minor, average?
Elliott,
don’t get me started on this. Let us just say I find it amusing.
Captain, thank you very much for your time!
You’re
welcome

JULY SUNDAY TOURNAMENT
Since
the June tournament we have put some thought into improving the playing
conditions.
- Firstly
we hope you will all come back and when you do, to get your entry in as soon
as you can. The greater the numbers we can process early the sooner we get
under way
- We
will separate the playing area from the spectator area and move quickly to 5
boards for 2 tables,
- We
will encourage social conversations to be kept to the area at the back
- We
will call on parents with chess skills to help with the supervision of the
beginners, with a prize for the greatest number of illegal moves detected
- We
propose a help desk for newcomers
Above all we want the whole family to enjoy the experience
2007 Box
Hill Championship. State of play
Due
to circumstances beyond my control I agreed to a postponement of
th final round game between Reubban Muthusamy and Chris Wallis. The
result of this game will affect the distribution of the prizes. If Chris wins or
draws he wins the tournament and bumps Reubban out of the top prizes but leaves
Reubban to win B div Leon and Zhigen and Derek to share second and third and
Peter Schulzer to win A div. I f however Chris loses Reubban, Chris, Leon,
Zhigen, and Derek all share first with an equal share of the prizes and a
count-back for the title and Shane Lawson will win B div.
So we can distribute now

Victorian open Championship
Dates June 9, June 10, June 11. 7 rounds.
If you did not play you missed a wonderful tournament full of excitement and many upsets which featured some of our young and not so young players.
We saw Andrew Gurevich beat Jason Tang in round 1[800 rating points difference]
Stuart Cuxon’s draw with Scott Stewart [700 rating points difference]
And in round 3 Joshua Ng beat Ian Hamilton [600 rating points difference]
And brother Isaac Ng drew with Michael Placentino [450 rating points difference]There was a great escape by Leon Kempen v Joshua Dalton, The wonderful win by James Morris against IM Mirko Rujevic and the magnificient fight by Chris Wallis [ultimately unsuccesful] against IM David Smerdon.
Trevor Stanning had this to say of the last round
Into the last round Chris Wallis was on 6/6 and David Smerdon was on 5.5/6, and would be paired to decide the tournament.
After 90 minutes the crowd around this board was huge, but well disciplined and quiet. Personally, I thought Chris had the situation under full control; even a draw would do.
However, with only 4 (out of 40 games) still to finish, David Smerdon emerged the winner of the game and the tournament. Chris Wallis was a highly creditable second.
Our President, Gladys Liu, introduced
> Gary Wastell, ACF President
> Robert Clark, MLA
> Dick Menting, Chairman of the Bendigo Bank board.
There were thanks to sponsors (and workers) and short speeches and then hands out to collect the prizes.
David Smerdon returned to the limelight for a very nicely constructed speech, and photo. op. for the dignitaries.
