Only a week to go to the 1st Blayney Open (8th & 9th September). Already this tournament is looking to be very successful (a field of up to 50 players expected) and such a turnout would be a just reward for the effort that Phil Bourke and the Blayney Chess Club have put in. Click on the chess club link for further tournament details.
Also, the Surfers Paradise Open is coming up on the 27th & 28th of October. Already the event is attracting a number of strong, titled players (GM Schmaltz, GM Antic, WGM Nutu-Gajic) but one of the interesting things is the field is restricted to 80 players (for venue reasons). Given the hew and cry from players over whether they can enter restricted tournaments (as opposed to the "didn't feel like playing" for non restricted tournaments) I suspect 120 players will try and enter this event. Full details from the Kings of Chess website.
