Well done everyone involved.

Hi James,
I was a parent at the tournament on the weekend and I just want to say that we were grateful that you and Austin were there. I know you thought about cancelling it which would have disappointed my two kids because we had traveled and already booked the accommodation. I think you did a reasonable job considering the circumstances and it was the technology that let you down so I would also like to thank Sabrina for her contribution to the pairings. I also think Austin did a pretty good job as well and he was open to everything that was going on. We have been to many tournaments over the years in VIC, ACT, QLD & SA and we have always enjoyed the SA tournaments for a number of reasons but mostly because they are always run consistently with integrity. If Sabrina reads this message can you please give me the dates of the Master in December as I believe my kids will have finished school by then.
Regards,
Chris Gooch.
A reminder the July Blitz tournament is on tomorrow night at the Chess Centre.
It will be an 11 round Swiss Draw, with Time Control at 3 Minutes + 2 Seconds.
Entry is $17, $25 if entries aren't in by Tuesday Morning. So get your entries in ASAP.
Get your entry in by email Bill A-S at tournaments@sachess.asn.au
Thanks Chris - Those are very kind words. I (Sabrina) also think James and Austin did great and can see them running many tournaments in the future! For the details about the Young Masters - please check out the website: http://lidumsaym.com/. I will create a proper thread on chess chat sometime this month.Quote:
