Toukley Open 2008
A Category 1 Grand Prix weekend event
History:
The traditional
host of this tournament, the Toukley White Knight
Chess Club, has
folded. But as a former White Knight who has never allowed
his mediocrity at
the board to dull his love of the game (particularly his love of
weekenders) I did
not want to see the event abandoned.
There's something
special about weekenders, particularly the country
ones -- the
getaways for those who believe too much chess is never
enough. The
Newcastle, Dubbo, Laurieton, Gosford, Coffs Harbour, Blayney
and, of course,
Toukley weekenders each have their own characteristics and
and serve as
annual reunions of chess-playing friends and acquaintenances.
I like being part
of the country circuit.
Not long ago you
could count on the Toukley weekender to draw more than
50 players. I must
take the blame for it drawing only 20 last year. My
promotional
efforts were minimal. This time I hope to do better.
Local players
Keith Farrell and John Pascoe have my gratitude for their offers
of help with the
running of this year's event.
Looking forward to
seeing you here,
Gary Losh

any games of a

members of the
Association. To ensure our tournament will be rated, each
entrant's name
will be checked against a list provided by NSWCA on the eve

Those not on the list will be asked to pay the $10 fee,
which will be
forwarded to the Association and will enable the player to enter
rated torunaments
for the remainder of the year.
