CCLCCC Gosford Open 2004 - 7 Rounds
Report by Keith Farrell President CCLCCC and nswca Country Representative
Firstly I thank Brian Jones for running a very smooth event - and working his way through 3 laptops till he found (like goldilocks) one that was juuuust right - doing all he required [essentially a printer that sat up and performed to expectations. Thanks also to Brian (again); Keith; Allen and Patrick who attempted to mix and match equipment.
What do you get when a grandmaster comes to play in your tournament, a raised tone and interest to the tournament - with a lot more interest in each others games that I have seen in a while, and if that gm makes just the one slip ...
Of course these days the time limit is such that an analysis room is a thing of the past (one or two 'analysis boards' being set up). Todays weekenders are also fairly hectic with 7 games to chew through - even Grandmasters can go astray. In round 3 Dejan dropped a game thru a time slip - his last slip of the tournament although Norm Greenwood fought most tenaciously - with a drawn position tantalisingly just the one slip away; so that by the second last round there were three co-leaders (and three more just a half point behind them - and another three a half point behind them).
at the end of the sixth round it was :
1-3 Hornsgaard, Nutter, Antic, 5
4-6 Murray, Coutts, Keuning(Tony) 4.5
7-9 Holland(Jim), Chan, Locke 4
10-14 Rowlison, Pickering, Scorvell, Reynolds, Mann 3.5
15-25 O'Riordan, Greenwood, Hornibrook, Deacon, Tracey
Tweedie, Robinson, Losh, Soltysik(Adelaide)
Ren, Brown, Phil 3
26-27 Frias, Parker 2.5
28-35 Pandich, Frenopoulo, Dickson, Keuning(Patrick)
Accola, Skulimowski,Rizzardini, Holland(Rhys) 2
36-37 Parr, Hoseman 1
38 Soltysik(Sebastian) 0
As close as close could be.

(the Lloyd Fell shield is awarded for those who have performed best above their rating)
('hover' the mouse over photo to see description)
It's tempting to rename the Senior Shield "the Keuning Shield" since Tony also won it back in 2000 and his brother won it last year - how long will we have to wait till the next generation starts by winning the Junior Shield - not long I suspect.
