Trevor had wanted to play in the Resserves tournament as his rating was only 1951, but he was persuaded to enter the Championship and promptly zoomed to 4/4, beating Solomon and Whol along the way. He was halted by Wallace and Gluzman, but fought back to register an IM norm following a 120 move draw in the final round against Naum Kagan....
------------------------------------ AC if only FG had been this humble there would not have been any Aust Champ controversy and he would not be chasing $190 - serves him right |

cheers,

As that tourney helps young up and comers to earn their norms in OZ there is some good out of it. Heaps actually. You could donate your $190 to help them out - your up and coming boy may even get the benefit of it one day.

Whereas in 1993/4 Trevor had wanted to play in the Resserves tournament as his rating was only 1951 but was persuaded to enter the premier where he went fantastic. And K Bonham who is on ACF executive wont take up his case coz he reakons that FG talked violently to him. So there you have it. |

I am not critical of people who lack courage though. If courage were commonplace it would not be such a valuable and laudable quality.

[Today 12:53 PM] Firegoat7: that is a big gap...sort of like a gap between a 2000 player and a weak GM
Well as you recognise that why were you whinging like LIttle Jimmy's mum about not getting in to Aust Champs |
