The first Interclub match has been completed, I am sure Mingara's 'A' team (the top 3 boards being the 'A' teams) will be looking forward to the return encounter.

While Gosford teams are hosting against Ettalong and then Mingara they will be playing a couple of one-night comps (in case a team runs short of players they can be available for selection if they wish - or perhaps catch up some deferred games ?

This Tuesday at Gosford we shall be having a one-night competition in the form of 'bonus-point chess' - in that the number of points you get per win might well increase ! ! If the game is 20 moves or less you get 1 bonus; if you declare ,say, mate-in-3 and is correct then a bonus point also (yes it is possible to get 2 bonus points), restrictions are : at least mate-in-2 and only declare 3 times per game.


The following Tuesday will be jeopardy chess - rounds 1 and 2 wins are worth 1 (draws half that), rounds 3 and 4 wins = 2 and rounds 5 and 6 wins are worth 4.
