Qld. Girls Championships 2022 – final placings.

No Women’s Champion because only one entry. Perhaps it will be played later this year.

We really need to start investing in Female Chess in Qld., while we still have one adult willing to play!

We have heaps of money – only problem is we give it all away in prizes?? What other sport does that?

All the successful sports – no cash prizes. Maybe a meal or a set of towels or a bottle of wine.

And yet in the tiniest sport in Australia – with only one professional player, GM Kubarokov, we throw away cash like drunken sailors.

Australian chess players are amateurs. What’s with the cash giveaways???

How about we start investing in the 15 players who are in Bali representing their country with 19 other nations in the FIDE RATED Asian Juniors! Who is their Team Manager? Who is their Trainer?

No one gives cash to amateurs – except chess. – Kerry Corker

• This diatribe is aimed at the mindset of all amateur Australian chess players who want to be paid for participating in events organized for them. It is not aimed at this event. – Kerry Corker
