Jean Watson will be creating a nice beautiful flyer for this event once again, but my previous post has all the vital information that people may need to know in advance.

Default Renzies starts the ball rolling!

We have got our first official entry with Elliot Renzies starting the ball rolling:

List of entries: (1)

Elliot RENZIES

On another note, can somebody please cut and paste or download Jean Watson's flyer from chesschat and post it here in this thread? It is a very nice flyer and needs to be shown off as much as possible. For some reason Jean's computer wont let her get into Ozchess.....

There is an explanation on the relevant thread on chesschat. They are debating whether it is a little ghost or something. I personally think that it looks a bit like the ghosts in pacman actually...

I think JAK said it looked like a poisoned pawn...

To me it looks like a horse who won the Melborne cup and is completely overheated, exhausted and happy that the run is over.
