134 players in Qld. Teams Championships! Teams from Suncoast and Mackay.
Known “knowns” so far!
- RCC’s Jai Turner scored 7/7 on board 6.
- Teams from Mackay and Suncoast combined.
- Event run well with no complaints – tho’ a few empty bellies were heard rumbling!.
- 134 players.
Imagine if Mackay and Suncoast had “purchased” hired guns in a talent auction days before the event.
This is basically how IPL works and how Teams Chess works overseas.
The old timer GMs and IMs pick up a bit of sunset money on the way down the FIDE list.
Imagine if players had been playing for their clubs.

How does Teams chess stack up against weekenders –
Last weekend 30 players competed in a weekender. This weekend 134 in a teams event.
- Overseas Teams Chess is the glue that keeps clubs together.
- In Australia Weekenders is the factor that keeps clubs small.
Solution!!! – Go with what you know – More weekenders!!! – Kerry Corker
