Hi all,

The T Shirt orders are now open with the order form released with the latest newsletter. The website order form will be up either today or early next week. T Shirt orders must be paid for and received by the 15th of march 2009. We will not be taking orders for the shirts at the event this year.

Where did he go? He was on the list last time I looked, has he withdrawn?

Hi all,

Four things to report.

Firstly the sad news, GM Negi has withdrawn from both tournaments over the weekend as he received an invitation to a closed GM tournament in France which clashed with the SIO dates.

On the good news front the T Shirt order form is now available from the front of the website for those that are looking to order a shirt. We are only taking pre-orders this year and they will close at 15 March so we have time to print for delivery at the tournament.

Thirdly, we will be adding extra hotel details for the Statesman (about 1km from the venue) who we reached an accommodation agreement with.

Finally the Hellenic club has replaced its upstairs Tratoria restaurant with an award winning Chinese restaurant so players have three choices - AlaCarte Bistro, Greek restarant or Chinese restaurant within the venue. We have agreement from them that the restaurants will open half an hour earlier (1730 hrs) to fit in better with round times.

Hi all,

We have negotiated a rate for the statesman hotel which is about 1km from the venue. Details are on the accommodation link on the website.

Hi all,

T Shirt on line order form is now in place - note that we need payment when we receive an order form and all orders are needed by the 15th of March to complete printing.. Also we went up a GM this week - GM Das from India and down an IM/WGM Sachdev.

Charles · 25-02-2009, 04:17 PM

Hi all,

Just a couple of updates - we have just reached 100 entrants for the tournament. We also have the Premier over half full. It is now Chess Ninjas 4 - Over the board 1 but it is a while until the 15 March cutoff for shirts so we shall see.

It looks like Doeberl 2009 'Over the Board' shirts are certain to become rare collectors' items.

Early offers anyone?

Charles · 28-02-2009, 10:24 AM

Hi all,

Really exciting news that we have just received is that the indian chess federation is planning to send a mens and womens team to the tournament. Now that ups the competition for the Australian players and should help with norming opportunities. They are:

Akshayraj Kore IM
Deepan Chakkravarthy GM
Ratnakaran K IM
Neelotpal Das GM
Sriram Jha IM
S.Satyapragyan IM
Bharat Singh Coach

Krutika Nadig WGM
Nisha Mohota WGM
Swati Ghate WGM
Eesha Karavade WGM
Amrutha Mokhal
Bakthi Kulkarni
Pon.N.Krithika

R M Dongre Coach

I have decided to play if I can find someone to share accommodation costs with me. I'd like to organise accommodation over the next day or two.

If you are interested, or know anyone else who is in the same situation, please let me know.

Also: I snore. (:

Charles · 02-03-2009, 06:28 PM

There are 19 slots left for entry to the Premier.

I might have to order another one. Doesn't exactly make me look glamorous but the one I got last year has turned out to be a great gardening T Shirt... slogan or no slogan.

Not sure if this is quite what they had in mind when the concept of chess tshirt design was thought up

For a chess tournament set on a cruise ship, "Man over board" would make an eye catching t-shirt slogan !
