Australia’s GM Bobby Cheng is playing in this event starting on Xmas day.
Anyone finding any links, or snippets, or messages delivered by crows on this event is urged to contact me and I will post.
Whenever Australians are playing overseas, there seems to be a real problem getting information.
WE NEED ONE CENTRAL NEWS HUB WHICH DEALS IN AUSTRALIAN AND WORLD CHESS ONLY.
Relying on crows from the North or message sticks or word of mouth is getting a little bit tiresome.
Plus keeping a Murder of Crows is not cheep!
