I notice that the junior weibemeister has been busy at the Box Hill web-site giving details of forthcoming tournaments

I wonder if the Treasurer knows about the $500 first prize in the Box Hill Autumn Cup for 2005. :uhoh: ;)

Not as yet, though I'll be working on that page today once it's free.

OK, now I've been assisting. :)

The first four events of next year are now up on the site.

And as a result of Rob's great work on the Box Hill web-site you can now enter the AUTUMN CUP via the web-site . Given that up to 33% discounts are available for early payment, that is quite a good idea to enter early.

Good morning Starter,

I was wondering - have you ever thought of running a Transfer Tournament at Box Hill? I reckon it would be WAY popular.

I have considered organising one myself except I have 2 problems:
1) lack of a suitable venue
2) I want to play in it!

W.E.

hi WhiteElephant

I think I remember reading somewhere that RJ Fischer said 'timing is everything in chess'. Your interesting suggestion is either 4 weeks late for our 2005 calendar (now approved by the BHCC Committee) or 45 weeks early for consideration for the 2006 calendar. :P

Best wishes for the festive season btw.

Now. Transfer. :hmm:

I take it you have read the transfer rules posted somewhere here (on the bb) in the past year? When you have read these, tell me you still want to proceed.

In the mean-time, while you check out the rules, did you know that the GURU has run the Australian Transfer Championships previously; and that the ACF gave its imprimatur. We would feel that the GURU has first call on a follow-up event in Melbourne. ;) In fact if we were to pretend to being Gazza, drafting a by-law for such a situation, it would start with the sub-heading 'Transfer rights for Transfer chess'. :uhoh:

There is probably a lot going for the event you call for.
In fact the GURU was probably on the right track with his early ideas, at
Mt B. 1, to have a festival of game opportunities that would include, GO, cards, Transfer, Lightning, and many other pass-time variants.

As always, the trick is to find an organiser.

regards

Dammit I know. Reading your Calendar is what got me thinking about other possibilities.

Thanks starter. All the best for the New Year and of course for the Boxing Day Test - Are you going?

I did a quick search but couldn't find any mention of the rules. I can't imagine there would be any surprises for me there so I think I am safe to proceed.

Yes, I played in the Australian Transfer Championships and my team came 2nd...yay (no hope in hell of beating the legendary pairing of Julian and Igor).

I agree, chess variants are always popular. Perhaps I will impose on the GURU to organise a Transfer Tournament at Caulfield Chess Club?

Your feeling would be incorrect.
The Guru ran an Australian Transfer Championship but didnt approach the ACF first. As such it was an event in name only. (It seemed more of a Victorian event than an "Australian" event anyway.)
It was only at the ACF Council meeting in April 2004 that it was decided to recognise an Australian Transfer Champion title in future.
Therefore anyone wishing to hold an Australian Transfer Championship in future would need to submit a bid to the ACF.
Failure to do so would make it just another event called the Australian Transfer Championship but with no official recognition.

CV could of course always arrange to hold a Victorian Transfer Championship. ;)

hi Bill

Hope you are are having a pleasant few days in the festive season.

Now you had to read my comment in the context of a BH calendar thread and Mexican priority order. I was commenting to George that BHCC as a Victorian Club, setting our local BH calendar, would first recognise the GURUs green-fields work for the Aus. Tfr Champs. We would not jump the queue, nor bid against him for the next promoting of the event.
Of course I recognise the ACF has the call in awarding this event, not VICTORIA.

Thanks for your advice on the detail that the GURU's first event was not in fact recognised with an ACF title.

And my point to George would still stand: We would recognise the GURU's prior efforts in this venture, and we (BHCC) would not apply to queue-jump.

Amiel has been calling for the best of posts to the BB be preserved in some ARCHIVE, so that absolute gems such as this one
(Nomination 18...post by Ian Rout)
are not lost to new BB entrants.

Recommend you read this George.

Heh this is great stuff. One of the funniest things I've read for a long time.

As far as I know the GURU has no plans to run another Transfer Tournament in the near future. I don't see why it would be queue-jumping if you organised one - shouldn't any club have the right to run any tournament they want? Unless it is a Victorian/ Australian title in which case you would need to get the ok from CV or the ACF as Bill has pointed out.

Glad you liked it George. We have infringed Ian's (probable) copyright a few times by re-printing it in our local bulletins.
Now that you have found this treasure trove of good posts ;) :uhoh: perhaps you can make this your holiday reading.

I think it goes without saying that we would yield to the GURU having precedence in this area. And, with an Australian title as a possibility, as Bill said, we (BHCC) would want to observe the proprietaries.

The Guru ran an unofficial Australian Transfer Championship.
He has no right of precedence for any Australian Transfer Title event or for that matter any VIC Transfer tilte event.
Anyone in VIC could run a transfer event.
If it was to be called the Autralian Transfer Title then they just need to apply to the ACF.
If it was for the VIC title then apply to CV.

You said exactly this before; and I explained that I agree entirely.
Formally, according to right of precedence , the ACF has the call.
But we would be polite and not proceed to jump into territory that we currently regard, in an informal sense, as the GURU's, until he had declared his intentions.
