Nick Speck's Chess Education Tournaments - OzChess

Does anyone know if Nick Speck will run these tournaments again this year, because it isn't mentioned on the Chess Education website?

perhaps , a more pertinent question would be , "is he still alive ?"

I'm pretty sure he is running tournaments at Mt View, Box Hill and MCC. Details will come out soon I reckon

Yes, he is still alive - I spoke to him the other day.

And, to answer Michaels question, some details will come out soon - Nick will release them when he is ready.

With all due respect Grant , it is one thing to fake death , but quite another to be a long term absentee from the chess warrior tourn circuit .

And yes , you can tell that to him , from me .

Hi,

Nick asked me to upload the flyer for these events. Basically there are 12 allegro tournaments and 3 transfer tournaments at 3 different venues. The venues are MCC, Box Hill CC and Mt View primary school. Please read the attachment for details.

cheers,

Hey that's a great GP format for a tournament and fantastic prizes for the juniors!

Why don't we use something like that in other tournaments as well!?
The best thing about it is that it keeps being interesting throughout for players and followers!
You people have a look and tell me if you agree!
