Please see attached the results for round 6 and pairings for round 7. We have a 3 way tie for the lead between Joemar, Rheyansh and Hamish going into a big final round.
The September ACF ratings also came out this week, with several members likely to have achieved their first national rating. The ratings lists can be viewed on the Australian Chess Federation website (Link below). The “Classic Active” is the file to view.
There were some highlights for HBCC members including:
Well done guys!

Please find a summary of the announcement which will affect junior competitions organised under Hobson Bay Chess Club banner.
Australian Chess Federation (ACF) has advised that our upcoming and past junior tournaments shall not be registered for ACF rating due to a lack of rated juniors (to circulate the ratings around).
As part of club’s tradition, Matthew Whitford has volunteered to provide free ½ hour coaching session prior to the kickoff of each round (from 6:00 PM- 6:30 PM)
No need to register for this free coaching session, just show up earlier with your notebook and writing materials.

For those that track or are concerned about such matters, I have updated the page of member’s ACF ratings here. You can also see the full and detailed June lists on the ACF web site.
The latest updated ACF ratings (and current FIDE rating) for our members are available, listed here.
It is also pleasing to see that Tina Deng has now achieved an ACF rating (160)! She has been coming to the club since April 2018, but only recently scored a result, allowing her to get an ACF (and presumably FIDE) rating. She played 34 rateable games between September 2018 rating period and the December 2019 rating period. This is a great example of perseverance and dedication to improve, even though she scored zero and (usually) had a bye in each event she entered.
I have updated our ratings page with an update for the recent ACF rating changes for our members. Some up, some down!
The latest ACF ratings were published on 1 Sept. The list here gives our member’s rating movements.
The latest club member ratings can be found here. The number of members has also increased from 51 to 63!
The ACF has published its usual quarterly rating update. The page here lists the rating movements of our club members.
I have updated the member ratings page with the latest (quarterly) update from the ACF (Australian Chess Federation). Congratulations to Takshil, Branislav, Mena and Alex, as they now have an ACF rating.
