2024 NSWCA Australia Day Weekender – 1 IM, 0 GMs.

January 25, 2024 by Rohan Pyne

Just like back in the 70s and 80s, Australia’s Top Juniors must head overseas for good competition.

In the biggest tournament in the country on this weekend, we have one IM playing.

Doubling down on paying Amateur U/1600s ridiculous CASH prizes is just a waste of money.

Appearance fees for our top players are needed.

They are not going to come out and say this, they are all too busy driving 12 hour shifts in their cabs.
