After the completion of the tournament, English grandmaster Gawain Jones gave around 50 kids and adults a very interesting and instructive lecture about some sharp openings, middlegame ideas and endgame techniques.

October 5th 2009 – Simul by Gawain Jones, Auckland Chess Centre.
24 players braved the weather, about half of these being regulars in the club’s A- or B-Grade competitions.
Gawain’s result: +21 =3 -0 in just on 3 hours. Draws for A-Grade opponents Daniel Shen (both players were winning at some stage), and Don Eade. Also a winning draw for Massey High student Brogan Powlesland, using the King’s Gambit (Gawain allowed players to choose the white pieces – few accepted, for some strange reason). Near misses for Hugh MacLeod and Jiapeng Li, among a few others.

The NZ Open team finished in 97th place (out of 147 teams) on 10 match points. After a fantastic start Roger Nokes was on course for much of the event for an IM (International Master) norm. However, the team faced strong opposition in the final four rounds after the upset win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in round seven. Bob Smith lost by default in round 4 due to his failure to arrive at the board by the appropriate time.

15th & 22nd May 2008 – Palmerston North 10/10
Palmerston North Club played host to an interesting 16 player, 6 round swiss at 10/10. With both the current Palmerston North Champion (Justin Davis) and current Wanganui Champion (Charles Ker) playing, the key encounter came in round 4 – Davis vs Ker. Davis quickly built a big advantage only to walk into a nasty tactic. With a point lead Ker looked to have the event in the bag, but a shocking last round defeat to a player rated around 800 points below him left a tie for first place.
1st = Charles Ker & Justin Davis
3rd = Dennis Davey, Johan Van Uwren & Stewart Holdway

Final score 1½ – 16½ to Wellington
D.O.P. Martin Sims Wanganui/Palmerston North versus Wellington
Justin Davis writes – “In 2005 Wanganui Club defeated an underpowered Wellington team. In 2006 Palmerston North narrowly defeated a higher rated Wanganui team. Since Palmerston North players had won the Wanganui Club Champs in 2006 and 2007, the idea came about for a combined team to crush Wellington. Sadly a couple of the stronger players were missing from the Wanganui/Palmerston North team, and Wellington remembering their previous defeat turned up with some of their strongest players. Wanganui/Palmerston claim that we will avenge this defeat in the rematch!”
