Charles did suggest to me that the top two divisions of the club championship would be FIDE rated this year. This is great to see, as well as many strong players, it's super to see Zong-Yuan playing, and George defending his title.
For those players in Sydney's inner south, the Club Championship is St George's best club event. It is run in divisional RR, so most players will get games +/- 100 pt opponents, unless you are the bottom seed. It often gets 50+ players.
Entry is free, once U have become a member of the CC - $10 per year, and if U are local (5km radius), you join the St George Leagues club. U can enter with the membership of another leagues club, if U aren't so local: (Canterbury, Wests, North's etc...)
Shame I can play, I'm sure I'll get over it....

Time Control

Championship Division: 90 minutes each, plus 30 seconds per player from Move 1 (Fischer mode on the DGTs). FIDE rated.

Other Divisions: 40 moves in 90 minutes, then 30 minutes per player to complete
the game.

The second division may also be FIDE rated, subject to entry by at least four (4) FIDE rated players. If so, it will be run at the same time control as the Championship division.

Format

The tournament will be a round robin format, with players split into divisions (usually of 10 players) roughly corresponding to their ratings. (Players may be permitted to play up one division on request, except that the top division will be decided strictly based on ratings, and the second division too if it is FIDE rated). The number of divisions will be subject to the total entries submitted. The championship division (FIDE rated) is only open to players rated ACF over 2000. The field for this division is already nearly finalised; anyone wishing to play should contact Charles Zworestine (details below) before Monday February 21 2005.

Entry Fees

$10.00 (for 2005 St. George Chess Club Membership). Cost is zero for those players who are already 2005 St. George Chess Club members (i.e. all who played in the 2004/2005 Summer Open). Entries will be taken on the first night (22/02/2005).

[Thunderspirit]

To good to see U won R 3 wise, keep it up...

Getting any coaching!?

[The_Wise_Man]

There was a faulty clock... and so the game went for an extra 40 minutes....
The time added to the faulty clock before we realised and got Charles to replace it! But even with the extra 40 minutes it ended in a time-scramble finish...

But lucky for us the security guards were not trying to kick us out at 12.00am.
