I have booked a place to stay.
Will I play the Paleface Attack? Will I play my secret anti-French weapons? or will I play the stodge?

Just a reminder that this is on next weekend (March 10th-12th).
Entry forms available from the Ballarat Chess Club website, or you can enter online via Tornelo with the option to pay on the day. Ballarat Chess Club https://auschess.tornelo.com/tournam...egonia-open--1 Tornelo lists around 50 entrants thus far, with the top seed currently Guy West. If you are intending to play and haven't yet booked your accommodation, it's probably a good idea to do so ASAP as this is a busy tourist weekend in Ballarat. Hope to see some of you there!

Ballarat Begonia Open - Round 2 Results:
The Zed shares the point with The X-Man ! The Legend takes the full point from The Solo Man ! The Pike spikes The Champion ! The Nemesis takes half a point off The Man ! The Jaguar draws with The Hammer The Boss shot down by The Assassin The Time Lord too good for The Analyst The El Math defeats The Force The Cobra strikes The Yang The Black Cat despatches The Cannon The Pit Bull takes care of The Coutts ! *Note , remarkable results have been omitted due to one or both players lacking an official nick name ( and theme song ) . We would ask that said players contact the offices of Ozchess c/o The WarriorOnTheEdgeOfTime to update their files ASAP. Thank you . Last edited by WarriorOnTheEdgeOfTime : 03-11-2012 at 04:52 AM |

Greetings,
Tornelo was offline last night,but back up and running now. Enjoying the coverage. Looked over a few games, don't know what the story was with Pyke and Cheng (appeared to have a few moves missing). The Man had a fairly sharp game with John Nemeth.
