    Knight Times June 2009 Knight Times Chess World Australia Pty. Ltd. ABN 41 118 087 862 Message from the Guru, Chess for Success! Colleges in the United States offer chess scholarships of US$200,000 each year in the form of tuition, plus up to $15,000 stipend. University of Maryland, Baltimore County president Freeman Hrabowski was quoted as saying “I think it’s one of the best business decisions I’ve made as president here. We’ve always worked to attract high achieving students, and the chess players helped create a climate that celebrated smart people. Chess was a perfect fit as a symbol for the life of the mind.” New Zealand's top junior Puchen Wang (now 19 years old) moved to the US in 2008, taking up a scholarship to the University of Texas - Dallas. He now studies Business Administration while playing on the college chess team. Here in Australia it is Monash University that leads the way in recognising the value of chess in education with their sponsorship of the National Interschool Chess Championships (details from www.interschool.com.au/nationals/). Frank Lekkas is presented with the RJ Shield by IM Robert Jamieson at the We tried to find out if any private schools in May RJ Shield Tournament held at Australia offered Chess Scholarships. While a very Doncaster Gardens Primary School. high number of top chess players received scholarships (in all states), schools are not calling them "Chess Scholarships". They are always awarded after students had achieved the necessary academic level. The fact that students were good at chess became useful at the interview stage.

  • Oceania Chess Development Plan 2011 – 2014
    OCEANIA CHESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011 – 2014 PREPARED BY BRIAN JONES 18 JULY 2010 1 CONTENTS 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2. DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND 3. HISTORY OF OCEANIA CHESS 4. ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT 5. EVENTS 6. ARBITERS 7. TRAINERS 8. MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION 9. OTHER DEVELOPMENT GOALS APPENDIX I OCEANIA DEMOGRAPHY APPENDIX II FIDE PLAYER STATISTICS APPENDIX III PROPOSED BUDGET 2011-2014 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Oceania region excels at almost all outdoor sports activities but chess, which is mainly an indoor activity, is not yet widely recognised as a serious sport. It is noted that FIDE aims to achieve worldwide recognition for chess as a sport but, whilst Australia and New Zealand have longstanding chess traditions, and nearby countries such as Philippines and Indonesia are mad about chess, there is very little chess played in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. As a result there is enormous potential for chess development in the region. 1.2 The administration of chess in Oceania needs more active resources and an improved organisation structure. It is proposed to create an Oceania Chess Confederation (OCC) from 1 January 2011. OCC Members would be the countries that are Members of FIDE Zone 3.6 (currently six). Dependencies and countries from other Zones would be welcomed to join as Associate Members. 1.3 It is proposed that a Policy Board consisting of delegates from the member Countries would oversee the OCC. An Executive Committee would be responsible for all day- to-day matters. The OCC Chief Executive would be the FIDE Zone 3.6 President. 1.4 Development is planned in many areas, including: • Major Events and Championships • Arbiter and Trainer Education • Marketing, Communications and Administration • Chess-in-Schools • Other Goals established at the 2009 Oceania meeting in the Gold Coast 1.5 The proposed Budget for 2011-2014 is included in Appendix III.
