July Rookies Cup.
Sponsored by Zed chess: www.zedchess.com.au
Contact coach George Zaprudsky

The Rookies tournament of Sunday 13 July started at the same time as the prizewinners ceremony for the ERGAS national training squad. This caused a little confusion as some from the ERGAS squad decided that 7 straight days of training, coaching, and tournament play was not enough; they were going to play the ROOKIES too. But the photo. Op. kept them from the round 1 start time.
The Rookies welcomed the return to chess of adult Efim Kishniveski who had last played 8 years ago. He found in the early rounds that juniors are no push-over. We had a few latecomers for round 1 and I encourage those players who come from language classes on Sunday morning that they should enter the Rookies a few days before the event. It was fortunate that we could call on Roger Croft and Efrim Tionko to make sure every-one had a round 1 game. Thanks for this assistance guys.
The data-entry before the start of play was done by Angus Sankaran while our captain, Gerry Hartland was on ERGAS duties. Thanks Angus. And Howard Chan and Roger Croft assisted us in the set-up of equipment and tables in particular.
By round 2 we were back in the routine of our smooth operations.
The canteen opened and Toni Ziffer set to work to feed a few hungry ankle-biters.
The winners at the end of the day were
Rating group 1 Eq 1st. Cedric Antolis, Nicholas Liu
Rating group 2 1st Gene Lai 2nd Bryan Ng on cb from Kit Ming Foo
Rating group 3 1st Joash Arulprakasam 2nd Joshua Devrajh on cb from Deniz Tuncer, Adeline Antolis, Ian Yeong
Rating group 4 1st Enoch Fan 2nd Wayne Cheung on cb from Zhong Yan Gan, Charlotte Dilnutt
Rating group 5 Eq Almog Leyzerman, Matthew Stewart, John Ni
QUEENS 1st Adeline Antolis 2nd Charlotte Dilnutt
ADULTS 1st David Flude 2nd Marcus Raine
At the end of the 7 rounds of Allegro, FIDE MASTER Bill Jordan offered to play simul. V ALL.
Thirty accepted the invitation and games proceeded to 7.15pm.
A useful experience for all.

2008 Ergas Training Camp
The whole of last week was taken up by the hosting of the National Ergas training camp. Russell Horton one of the parents wrote an intersting bulletin on the event. Here is the first paragraph with a link to the BHCC website where the whole article features.

Ergas squad members were treated to some outstanding coaching over 7 days of training in Melbourne. The squad was welcomed to the Box Hill Chess club by local political and chess dignitaries. Robert Jamieson IM provided an interesting introduction to the training camp with advice about how to become a chess nut with plenty entertaining commentary about his own competitive chess life. This includes snippets on psychology, training methods and some Australian chess history.
