This site consists of games played by Australians in Australia or overseas. It is arranged by tournament type and location. For some important Australian events, games between non-Australians are included. Crosstables and reports supplement the information in the games.
The games have been drawn from a database of Australian games currently numbering in excess of 211,000, which have been sourced over decades from on-line databases, web pages, books, magazines, scoresheets, etc. In addition, Australian players are supplying their own databases for inclusion and acknowledgement is given to GM Ian Rogers, GM Darryl Johansen, IM Robert Jamieson, IM Stephen Solomon, IM Guy West, WFM Cathy Rogers & FM Bill Jordan. Many other players have provided games and information for the site.
Games by tournament are gradually being rolled out across the pages on the site, with uploads occurring almost every day. Wherever possible, annotations or notes about the tournament or game have been captured and tables of results and crosstables are uploaded.
For more information about the source for notes, the protocols used in filing the games and storing information about tournaments and downloading files, visit the FAQs page.
Visitors are encouraged to provide any corrections or supplement the information by providing files, text of games or copies of scoresheets to Paul Summers.
