Australian Young Masters
Hi all,
The Australian Young Masters event is to be held in Adelaide at the Chess Centre of SA in early mid December of this year. Fedja Zulfic is one of the organisers and it promises to be as strong as the same event held in previous years. Certainly something that SACA was interested in assisting by providing a free venue. regards to all. George |

hi all,
The tournies entrants are on Chesschat etc etc. Fedja should have no issues with money as he is awash with sponsorship dollars. Should be a fantastic tourney!! If someone knows how to paste from ChessChat the field etc in the 3 tournies could be posted here

Hi Guys,
James did not get an appearance fee at the Checkmate Tournament. All IM's were offered a guarantee against prizemonies and he was offered that. If he chooses to see that as an "appearance fee" thats up to him - I dont know what he has or hasnt been offered for other tournies. |
