FANTASTIC! That how you can make more punters happier - they can quote their highest number

Didn't realise you were that old WE!

Yes, I was actually. A Club Treasurer this time.

I was thinking from a Marketing viewpoint!

And that is how I expected you to view my Treasurer comments.

Yesterday at the Brisbane Chess Club I had a chance to look through an Australian Chess Magazine (now called the Australasian Chess magazine). Its very well put together and clearly a lot of thought and effort has been put into it. I think I may become a subscriber very soon.

Its my understanding that the May issue of Australasian Chess magazine has just recently been released (which isn't surprising because today is 2 May 2008), and from what I've heard there is even a feature article with Australia's newest Grandmaster Zhao.

If you'd like more information on the magazine or obtaining a copy of the latest edition, I recommend you Private Message Brian Jones.

Best

No don't PM me, I would prefer an email to info@chessaustralia.com.au

Or subscribe at http://www.chessaustralia.com.au/ind...nes&site=chess

PS. Why have I such a small quota on attachments. My blue cover is only 46k and is 11k too big!

OK - fixed now - see cover below!

Hey, how good is the latest Australian Chess....vol 6 #4

Pages 6 to 22 are Victorian in outlook.
Page 33 contains a Victorian promise.

Next month ...can we look forward to a Fludey report on the Vic Open and a pic of the Siren of Sofia?

I'm still waiting for Fludey's report (with games from the Sandman) but can you please send me a photo of the Siren of Sofia!

Here is the cover of 6/4:
Or there would be if I had some kind of decent quota that worked!

So instead the green cover can be seen at www.chesssaustralia.com.au (top RHS)

I still can't upload my 40kb jpg file. I thought this had been fixed once
It says exceeded quota by 29.6 kb

Just fixed this problem, hopefully it will work this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

**Brian_Jones** · 07-02-2008, 02:20 PM

Ah! That's better!

With all the chess activity on at the moment it must be hard for the bill posters to put up their advertising of a new issue in all the nooks and crannies.
So, I will help out by noting that the November/December issue (6/6 of 2008) is now on the newstands and bookshops...with a blue cover.

The metricians amongst us head for the rating report in the magazine where there is a bevy of tabular stuff. I like the BUSIEST players section. In this edition there are 7 who get a mention. Top Australian is Domagoj Dragicevic on 55 games. Of the 7 mentioned 5 have been Box Hill members (Domagoj Dragicevic, Bobby Cheng, Eugene Schon, Sally Yu, Mehmed Dizdarevic...bold are current).
Mexicans are doing well.

A screen shot won't allow you to read the articles. I suggest simply purchasing the magazine.

Or you could go to your local news agent and simply browse the magazine without paying for it!
