Reports are now finished for another semester, so my life has returned to something akin to normal. Anyway, long story short ... I've taken leave for the last week of the school term to play in the Oceania Zonal Chess Championships on the Gold Coast.
This involves an early morning plane trip (the wonders of cheap flights) & 9 games of chess starting at noon on Saturday. I may have an opportunity to blog from the tournament, though with the fees for internet connections in the room being ridiculous (I think I saw something which was roughly $25/day), then I might have to look for alternatives. Perhaps I'll try and grab a few minutes on the Closet Grandmaster's laptop. He's apparently doing a live blog from the tournament that you can follow here.
If you're interested in my progress, keep an eye on the Oceania Zonal website. As the 27th seed in a field of 73, I'm not exactly a favourite to win the event (or finish near the top), but I'm still hoping for a reasonable result ... and better form than the Doeberl Cup/SIO Easter effort!
There might even be a surprise or two in store for people ... but I'll see what develops.
