Default Cluedo...A mystery

Hello,

There was a very interesting piece of news discussed in Victorian chess ciircles over the weekend. But in the interest of suspense, I have decided to introduce the clues slowly, like the old board game cluedo. Surely everyone remembers that game. You know you have to guess the murderer, the weapon, and the room. Don't you all love a thriller!!

Well here is the first clue.

cheers Fg7

Hmm

You posted in FIDE, ACF forum.
And the topic seemed to be Ballarat/Begonia tourney.

Some-one is going to slaughter Fludey's Blackmar-Diemer, with the g-pawn, when he finally gets a game in the Pit?

(/turn)
Hands dice on

(Thought-starters for my next turn...possum, axe, S.Tiger, Alpha)

Its actually considered a draw card when tournament do this. The thinking is with titled players there will be better attendance overall.

Of course, it's a new arbiter! An "invader" from interstate perhaps.

Sorry, I'm taking too many turns.

Nope. The arbiter is innocent, and was that a Freudian slip?

A strong female player, with a coup, in the CV Executive? (To be applauded at Ballarat?)

Yes and No and No.

You are right about that information Moz, but its not the cluedo question.
Anyway, well done, you have the first clue. That is, you have the right person.

A strong female player, beats allcomers at Ballarat with panache, and enters the Olympic squad (f.)?

Ballarat Bzzzt, think weapon

Olympic Squad Bzzt, think place.

Cheers Fg7
P.S The 'kitchen' was just keeping in line with cluedo.

Anyone want to guess the victim?
