Last year, when the news of the loss of the Rochestor Rd venue broke, he surmised that this “means that the conveyor belt of top juniors emerging from Melbourne will slowly grind to a halt.” Recent coaching sessions and rookies events where we have had record numbers, even though they clashed with other events, are (continued next page) BHCC and CJCC venue: 21a Electra Ave., Ashwood, Vic 3147 Page 1 Editorial continued. good early signs that the GM’s downside view may be on the pessimistic side. (see Junior Coaching Report). The CJCC continues to provide an entry point for juniors, good basic coaching from introductory to advanced levels at affordable prices. If the junior has the interest and commitment, many go on to engage private outside coaches for more advanced one on one sessions (refer to advertisements in this newsletter). http://gardinerchessmembers.worldsecuresystems.com/chess-news/the-end-of-the-road-for-melbournes-biggest-chess-club http://gardinerchessmembers.worldsecuresystems.com/chess-news/gm-rogers-on-why-are-victorian-juniors-so-good Venue.

An interesting choice, aiming to play ...g5 and reposition the knight on f5 [13...fxe5 14.dxe5 Nge7 was a little safer] 14.b4! White's attack is suddenly coming faster than expected 14...b5?! [Black had a surprising defence in 14...Nf5 15.b5 Na7! 16.bxa6 b5! and White's attack is still a little way from breaking through] 15.Bc2 Now White's simple threat of a4 is very difficult to meet 15...g5? Black aims to distract with a kingside attack, but this only makes things worse [15...Nf5! 16.Bxf5 (16.a4 Nxg3 17.axb5 axb5 18.fxg3 fxe5 19.Bd3! Nb8 (19...e4? 20.Bxb5 exf3 21.Qa4 and White wins) 20.Nxe5 Bxd1 21.Nxd7 Kxd7 22.Raxd1 and White has a small edge) 16...Bxf5 17.a4 bxa4 18.Qxa4 Bd3 and Black's position is still fairly solid] 16.exf6 Nf5 [16...gxh4 17.Bxh4 Nf5 18.Bxf5 gives Black similarly little to show for his material] 17.Bxf5 exf5 18.hxg5 h4 19.Bf4 h3 20.g3 Now White should have a solid two pawn advantage, with Black unable to break through 20...h2+ 21.Kh1 Bd6 22.a4! This has to be calculated carefully, but should win for White [22.Bxd6 Qxd6 23.Qc2 f4 24.Ne5 was the other defensive option] 22...Bxf4 23.gxf4 Qd6 24.axb5 axb5 25.Ra8+ Kd7 26.Rxd8+ Nxd8 White's attack has broken through, and he has extra material! 27.Qe2 Qxf4 28.Qxb5+ Kc8 29.Qxd5?? A horrible blunder, turning the result around completely [29.Qa6+ Nb7 (29...Kb8 30.Ne5 c6 31.Ra1! mates; 31...Qxd2 (31...Nb7 transposes to the main variation after 31...c6) 32.Qb6+ Nb7 33.Nxc6+ Kc8 34.Ra8+ Kd7 35.Ne5#) 30.Ne5! Kb8 31.Ra1 c6 32.b5! cxb5 (32...Qxd2 33.Nd7+ Kc7 34.Qxc6+ Kd8 35.Ra8#) 33.Nd7+ Kc7 34.Qb6+ Kxd7 35.Qxb7+ Qc7 36.Qxd5+ Qd6 37.Ra7+ and White mates] 29...c6! Suddenly the White queen has no way to keep protecting the f3 knight, which, when taken, will be checkmate 30.Qxd8+ Desperation, but there are no good moves 30...Kxd8 31.Kg2 Bh3+ 32.Kh1 Qg4 and White gave up 0–1 Position after 28…Kc8 BHCC and CJCC venue: 21a Electra Ave., Ashwood, Vic 3147 Page 4 Our Sponsors Bits & Pieces.

Outstanding!] 44...Qxd1+ [44...Rd5!! 45.Kh2 Kf6! is the only way to continue the fight according to the program, but after 46.e4!

There were a few newcomers who had booked in for their first session; these included Emma and Sophie Chang, Jacob Day, Christopher Hermawan, and ShinWei Wong; we welcomed these new attendees and it made for a very busy enthusiastic afternoon. In the game play part of the afternoon we matched Jacob Day (who had been referred to us by Nick Speck from the Melbourne Chess Club) with the tournament leader Joseph Wong. This was an exciting game with Jacob showing the benefits of his previous coaching from Nick and scoring a win; Joseph still leads the overall tournament with one round to be played on the 22nd of March. Some of the novice beginners asked to miss the tournament game, opting instead to have an extra 30 minutes of coaching. We were pleased to see some of the stronger juniors stay later in the afternoon for the ARVO SWISS played at classic time-controls. In that session Jacob Day defeated Michael Salvagno, and ShinWei Wong had a good game against Roger Croft.
