A worthy place indeed!

($40 AUS a day). That in a well organised state of the art house with all facilities provided, super modern appliances, the best view in town etc!  View of the Lake and the Mountains from our balcony! Plus it fits perfectly with my decision not to play again in tournaments with more than one round per day! Rounds starting at 3 pm give players the opportunity to go sightseeing for the biggest part of the day and then come to the venue and relax with a game of chess! Go Queenstown next time! And enjoy a lovely chess holiday! |
