On the 24th June, I was having a quick look at the CV 2011 calendar on the CV website and I noticed that not one MCC event was listed on the calendar! A number of other events such as the Ballarat Begonia Open and the Vic Open were listed but NOTHING at all from MCC.
The Doeberl Cup was listed, despite it not being run by a CV affiliated club. However the MCC ANZAC Day / Easter Weekender (on the same weekend) was not there, despite being run by a CV affiliated club (MCC). The MCC Cup Weekender was not listed at all - even though the actual public holiday for the horse race was.... I dont remember Racing Victoria being a CV member, though MCC is and our tournament is not listed... So, on that same day (June 24th) I wrote an email to Leonid Sandler and Trevor Stanning (aka MOZ) asking why MCC events were not on the calendar and if they could be added. However neither Leonid or Trevor have actually sent me an email back - despite having 6 days to do so.... This means that I have no choice but to publically announce this on both chess forums and embarrass them and their incompetent organisation (CV) for not doing their job properly. CVs job is to promote chess in Victoria, and part of that is to promote CVs affiliated clubs events (including those of MCC). CV have been given MCCs calendar nearly a year ago, yet our events are still not listed on their calendar... I urge the CV executive to either 1. start doing their job properly and give their member clubs their moneys worth. OR 2. resign immediately and give somebody else the opportunity to run the organisation properly. Cheers, Grant Szuveges, Melbourne Chess Club President

My guess 'under construction' means 'under-construction recovering from recent notified hack'. |

Breaking news!
Since my original post this morning, the word "cancelled" has been added to the yellow box on the calendar advertising the Canterbury Summer Swiss (one of the few tournaments that the calendar actually was advertising)! Progress is obviously being made - at the rate of one word per half day.... Its bad luck for any events that were not listed which have fallen in the first half of the year - why they are still constructing a 2011 calendar when 2011 is half over is anyones guess...

I am not sure why you are so worked up about this issue. Have you tried contacting CV's calendar editor and webmaster to get some answers from the persons responsible?
This was probably just an oversight, or simple complacency. I do not think the MCC was being targeted or intentionally snubbed.

Hi Grant,
I tend to agree with J2G about this issue. I am not sure why you are getting so worked up about the calender. Although I do admit that if you are going to have a calender it ought to be accurate and factually representative. I think J2G has offered the correct approach. Contact the Vic webmaster and give them a copy of the MCC calender. They are probably just a bit overworked at the moment. cheers,

Thanks for referring me to it btw, I was actually congratulating Jaydon's moderation, and just remarking that it was more protective of privacy than that still on display at chesschat. But, while I have got you there, perhaps you can help me with this dilemma; KB says he did not understand my post, but at the same time he is sure I am wrong. How can that be a/c? How can he be sure I am wrong but not understand what I said? That suggests he is just in an arroyo. Oh, and yes, you can forget KB's necromancing; that is just him saying he can remember when.

Check this link; Gold Coast Open 2011 - Page 3 - Chess Chat - Australia's Premier Chess Forum # post313139 03-07-2011 03.10 PM It was the AC who complained to the data published at Gold Coast Open thread with the dates of birth of all participants. But no one responded to the complaint, not even the mods .AC wrote: 'Providing those days birth certainly helps identity theft' I would be very concerned that my name and date of birth is published on the Internet without my permission.

Privacy is an interesting journalistic issue. Until Jaydon formalises how he made his judgement to delete Grant's post we can only guess at Jaydon's position on each of
The same post is still on display at chesschat. It is clear who has the lower standards of privacy. Have a nice swim tomorrow a/c, and stay clear of any arroyo. MOZ*

I throw my lot in with whoever feeds me. I am known to turn for a sausage sizzle, did it to a mate and he has never forgiven me.
And yes it appears that it is going to be wonderful swimming in about 2 hours after place warmed up bit more. Already checked surf out and is looking brilliant, the water is anyway. Only a wisp of breeze, the tide will be more in as too low now - bring your budgee smugglers Now what were we talking about I forget |

The bottom line is that you are better advised trading private mails on Ozchess than elsewhere. Young Jaydon is commendably strict; as he showed in the Gold Coast case too.
