Editorial Something new is being tried at the club !! Chris Wallis will be giving a talk on a GM game before the Friday round of

the BHCC Championships.

After a hiatus of one week the championships continue. This break in the calendar was to allow members to

participate in the MCC Anzac Day Weekender. Over the years, I have noticed that the chess clubs and coaching

organisations have been very cooperative and clubs will adjourn their competitions to avoid clashes with other clubs

major weekenders. This spirit of cooperation has coincided with an increase in weekender participation. Many of the

local Victorian weekenders over the last couple of years appear to have had record numbers of entries. It would be

interesting to see some stats on weekender participation over the years.

Game Of The Week (by Laurence Matheson) Milojevic,M - Grkow,A [A28] Box Hill Club Championship (2.4), 16.04.2015 The Club Championship continued on Friday, and the lead is now shared between four players on 2/2. One of those is Andrew Grkow, who had a nice win which we will see here. 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 The English four knights variation, a solid option for both sides 4.e3 Bb4 5.Qc2 0–0 6.Nd5 Bc5 [More often Black plays 6...Re8 to hide the bishop on f8; 7.Nxb4 Nxb4 8.Qb3 c5 followed by d5 is not a problem for Black] 7.b4!? An interesting tactical shot to remove one of Black's central pawns [7.a3 is more usual and after 7...a5 8.Ng5 g6 we will have an unconventional but solid position] 7...Nxb4 [7...Bxb4 8.Nxb4 Nxb4 9.Qb2 does not win a pawn either] 8.Nxb4 Bxb4 9.Nxe5 d6 10.Nf3 Re8 11.Rb1 Ba5 12.Bd3 Bb6 This is one way to free the light-squared bishop, but probably not best as the bishop becomes temporarily immobile here and this doesn't really fit with Black's possible central activity [12...Qe7 13.0–0 c5! turns out to be a good plan; the bishop is freed from protecting the b7 pawn and Black prepares both the dark squared bishop to drop back and a possible central break with ...d5. The temporary weakening of the d5 square is not a problem as White cannot increase pressure on the square easily] 13.Bb2 h6 14.h3 Bd7 15.0–0 Qe7 16.Qc3 Both players now face similarly tough tasks in finding good places for their pieces, especially the two light-squared bishops 16...Bc6 Setting up the following interesting manoeuvre and a possible swap of bishops with Be4 17.Be2 Be4 18.Rbc1 Bh7 19.d3 White decides it is time for him to make his own play in the centre, rather than waiting for Black to act 19...Rad8 Black still has his own ideas of playing ...d5 one day (though not yet as c5 would trap the bishop) and centralises his rook 20.e4 Qf8 Now that White has committed his central pawns Black frees up his knight to find a better square 21.Nd4 A slightly baffling move, as it's not immediately apparently where this knight is headed and it blocks White's a1–h8 diagonal battery 21...Nd7 22.Kh1 [Around here White could consider redeploying the rook with 22.Rce1 where it will support White's central advances or defend Black attacks, it's no longer achieving much on the c-file] 22...Nc5 [22...f5 is already annoying for White; 23.Bh5 (23.exf5 Bxd4 24.Qxd4 Rxe2; 23.f3 is also possible, but Black's pieces are suddenly well coordinated and White's dark squares look very weak) 23...fxe4(23...g6 24.Nxf5! is a

spectacular win) 24.Bxe8 Rxe8 25.dxe4 Rxe4 26.Rcd1 Nc5 should give Black good compensation for the exchange] 23.Bd1 White removes his bishop from the firing line of the e-file 23...Ne6 [23...c6 to prepare a d5 push is possibly better] 24.Nb3 [24.Nxe6 Rxe6 (24...fxe6 25.Bh5 Re7 26.f4 is better for White, his bishops are much better and he has much more mobility in his pawns) 25.a4 a6 26.f4 Re7 (26...f5 27.c5! followed by Bb3) 27.f5 and the h7 bishop will be shut off from the game while White is free to launch an attack on either side] 24...c6 25.a4 Rd7 26.a5 Bd8 27.Bg4 f5! Now Black's pieces suddenly seem the better coordinated 28.exf5?! [28.Bh5 Bf6 29.Bxe8 Bxc3 30.Bxd7 Bxb2 31.Bxe6+ Kh8 32.Rc2 Be5 33.d4 is probably either drawn or a touch better for White] 28...Bxf5 Now Black's kingside play becomes dangerous very quickly 29.Bh5 [29.Bxf5 Qxf5 followed by Nf4 causes White serious problems] 29...Bf6?! Tempting, but not the most accurate [Black can give up the exchange with 29...Nf4 30.Bxe8 Qxe8 when White has to defend accurately, the following the most forcing line of play; 31.Qd2 Bg5 32.Nd4 Bxd3 33.Rfe1 Qg6 34.Re3 Be4 35.f3 Nxg2 36.Qxg2 Bxe3 37.fxe4 Qxg2+ 38.Kxg2 Bxc1 39.Bxc1 Re7 40.Kf3 Re5 and Black will have an edge in the ending] 30.Qc2 [30.d4 blocks the bishop and opens up the third rank to allow the queen to help with the defence 30...g6 31.Bf3 and White's position is reasonably solid] 30...Ree7 31.Bxf6 Qxf6 Facing threats of Nf4 and Qh4, White suddenly finds himself in serious trouble 32.Qd2 Qh4 33.Be2? [33.Bd1 turns out better after 33...Bxh3 34.g3! (34.gxh3 Nf4! 35.Bg4 Nxh3 36.Bxh3 (36.f3 Nf2+ 37.Kg2 Nxg4 38.fxg4 Qxg4+ 39.Kh1 Re2) 36...Qxh3+ 37.Kg1 Qg4+ 38.Kh1 Qf3+ 39.Kg1 Re6 is decisive) 34...Qf6 35.Re1 when at the cost of a pawn White has blunted the attack] 33...Nf4? [The immediate 33...Bxh3 is now crushing; 34.g3 Qf6 and we see the critical difference to the previous variation; f2 is no longer protected so the rook cannot move] 34.Bf3?? Missing his big chance to get back into the game [34.Bg4! is a bolt from the blue, when Black must bail out with 34...Qg5 (34...Bxg4 35.Qxf4 and Black is even in trouble) 35.g3 Bxg4 36.hxg4 Ne6 37.Qxg5 Nxg5 with approximate equality]

34...Bxh3 Black makes no mistake this time 35.Kg1

[35.gxh3 Qxh3+ 36.Kg1 Qxf3 forces White to give up his

queen to prevent mate] 35...Bxg2! A nice little tactic

seals the game 36.Bxg2 Ne2+ Black wins a queen and

the game 37.Qxe2 Rxe2 38.Rcd1 Rf7 0–1

Position after 32...Qh4

The club has prepared the following document to provide junior players and their parents a guide to the pathway

from beginner to advanced levels. This is a guide only and at any time you can discuss your progress with the

coaching co-ordinator- Trevor Stanning.

Pathways for Juniors At The CJCC

Pathway for Juniors at the Canterbury Junior Chess Club

LEVEL 1: Beginner

LEVEL 2: Rookie

Brand new to chess and are still learning how to play the game. Players at this level are developing an understanding of the basic rules and concepts such as: piece movement, castling, check and checkmate, stalemate, and en passant.

A rookie is a player who understands the basic rules of chess and has learned the fundamentals. Learners at this level are beginning to use tactics (i.e., forks, pins, skewers, etc.) and are clear on the general direction of each game they play.

LEVEL 3: Intermediate

A Junior who knows and practices the fundamentals of chess and therefore has the ability to play in the Sunday Arvo chess tournament

LEVEL 4: Advanced

Players at this level should be in GM Darryl Johansen’s coaching class and will be able to play in the Box Hill Chess Club Friday night tournaments.

Sunday ARVO Swiss #2(by Trevor Stanning) 19 April 2015 The second Sunday ARVO Swiss for the year got underway on the 19th of April with newcomers Callista Leong-La, Eva Wang, Kendrick Lo, and Oliver Li joining from the coaching group. These newcomers were welcomed and added to the regulars David Flude, Milic Sucevic, Bob Bergmanis, Eric Neymanis, Amelia Mendes, Barnaby and Fergus Chiverton. Other regulars likely to rejoin in later rounds are Shane Lawson and Gary Bekker. The games are played at 60 minute + 30 second_increment rates and are rated with the ACF (Australian Chess Federation). New players (old and not-so old) can join on the next round; 26 April at 3.45pm Results from the term1 Sunday ARVO were 1st John Nothdurft ($100) 2nd David Flude ($50) Bottom half 1st Shared by Eric Neymanis and Amelia Mendes ($75 each) 26 April 2015 For round 2 the field of players welcomed Shane Lawson and Vishnusankar Sajimon as new starters to the Sunday ARVO Swiss for round 2. These were good additions as Barnaby Chiverton, Fergus Chiverton and Amelia Mendes were all engaged in the MCC ANZAC week-ender and had asked for ½ point byes from our local event. Improving junior Eva Wang was thrilled win her first game at classic time-controls, and showed the benefit of playing slowly and thus thoughtfully. Shane Lawson found a humorous and creative win against Milic Sucevic. Results No Name Loc Result Name Loc

Sunday Coaching. (By Trevor Stanning)

26th April

The coaching session on the 26th of April was busy as we welcomed back Adrian and Melinda Wang, Riveen

Atukorala, David Aumann, Haasini and Krishna Gutta, Charlie Ma, as well as Austen and Nathan Wayne, who were

regulars in term 1 but missed the start of term 2.

Anna Zhou was a newcomer into the novice group.

The busy session was made much easier with assistance of Su and Mike Loh on the front desk, and with coach David

Hacche helping out as Vineetha was unwell (get well soon Vineetha); also, Alanna, Amelia and Max were otherwise

engaged at the Melbourne Chess Club week-ender. Bobby Cheng returned back to the coaching panel.

Results of the games that began at 3pm are elsewhere in the newsletter (the result on board 4 perhaps needs to be

confirmed at the session next Sunday).
