It has always struck me as more than a little odd, actually it is a tragedy, that in NSW, we do not have a habit of transcribing and recording games into a database. While scoresheets may be provided - no one actually collects these.
Imagine what gems are merely lying on some dustcovered shelf somewhere. It could be a Canfell massacre. Or a George Xie novelty. Or the genius of some future grandmaster. Who knows? - The Closet Grandmaster
Actually i've thought along these lines as well..... I have not spoken it..... but i have thought it :D.....
My Idea was more along the lines of perhaps publishing a periodical with the games of the tournaments that have been played during the past 3-4 months. I really think this would increase the quality of Australian Chess.
It has ewen said that Australian players know little or no opening theory. A Strong player could work out where the "inferior" move has been played and improve on it. Thus forcing the loser players to pick up their act because they get hammered every time they play a certain move.
Perhaps it could be a condition of the ACF's Grand Prix conditions that the tournaments must be submitted with carbon paper scoresheets to be sold as a periodical....
Dinner time.... more on this later.....
