April 13 Rookies and Queens Cup.
There was a very good turn out of 56 for our March tournament and we hope for an even better roll-up in April.
2008 Autumn Cup round 5 completed
The tournament that starts in summer but finishes in autumn
The draw for round 6 has been thrown into chaos by the continuing absence of some of our top players [and some of our lesser lights] at the Sydney SIO. Unfortunately not everyone told the arbiter of their need for a postponement of those who did Francisco Chung, Bobby Cheng, Eugene Schon, and Michael Chan had the opportunity to have postponements arranged. Others will be given a ½ point bye. Latest draw is now on the web site with a different top board web site:

08 BHCC Club championship
The Championship for the Box Hill Chess Club is due to start on the 24th of April. It will be necessary for members to renew their annual subscription to the Club so as to be eligible for our premier event.
The recent AGM left the subscription rates at $75 FULL, and $60 CONCESSION.
The Championship has a proud history starting in 1952 with a win to Brian Robson. Greg Frean won it 5 times in a row in the 1970’s. It was a 6-way tie in 1991, requiring a playoff that saw Rod Macfarlan emerge as the successful champion. The oldest player to win our championship is John Kable, who is our Public Officer for lodging returns with the Corporate Affairs Office.
So, who will be our 57th winner?
In 56 years most wins have been by a seniors, but juniors have won 3 in the past 5 years.
The Club Administrators would appreciate early entries to the Championship, accompanied by renewal of annual subscriptions for Club membership. Pick-up a flyer over the next week or two and update your contact details. Details of this and other upcoming tournaments are also available on the website with web entry forms
