ozchess.com.au is owned by Alex Toolsie, hosted on IP 203.145.50.165 which is owned by Ultra Serve Internet Pty Ltd in a sunburned country.

ozchess.co.au does not exist.

And for the life of me, I don't see any relevance at all to the ownership of Chess Chat.

Supposedly it was an administrative error by the owner of CC. A search of chesschat.org showed the Australian Chess Federation to be the owner. A few days after I made that public on the Chessexpress blog, the ownership was changed and reverted back to its long time owner, a Sydneysider.

If an error did occur, and its hard to see why one would have, it wasn't on our end.
