Wesley So loses his second game 12 May 2008 at 10:15 pm by GilaChess

I think fatique has finally hit Wesley So as he practically played non stop since his big win in Dubai.

He lost yet another game as White and this time to China’s Li Chao.

In this position White to move.

Wesley played Re2 ? which was a mistake.

Li Chao replied with Bb5 and the Black bishop cannot be captured because of the back rank mate.

Play continued

+ Australian Olmypiad team donation By GilaChess 12 May 2008 at 6:18 pm and have No Comments

Unlike most competing nations, the Australian teams receive no government support and must pay their own way, a burden compounded by the distance involved from Australia to Germany and the corresponding high air fares. The costs increase with every Olympiad. They can’t do it alone, but depend on the support of the Australian chess community.

We ask you all to reach for the hip pocket, and give what you can to the ACF Olympiad Appeal. No donation is too large or too small – all will get the teams that much closer to Germany and will be acknowledged on this site.

All donors of $50 or more to the last Olympiad Appeal received email bulletins from the players direct from Turin. A similar thank-you gesture is anticipated from the players in Dresden.

It’s a good idea for countries that don’t have Government support. Come to think of it we Malaysian do not have Govt support too. I think the last tournament the players had to fork out part of the air fare to the Olympiad. I like the idea of ‘premium’ donors receiving direct email bulletins from the players themselves.
