Coming Australian Grand Prix Events

I haven't been "reporting" much things lately, but I will get on to it soon. We have strong tournaments like the Gardiner Gold Coast Open and Freytag Checkmate Open coming up. I am also aware of the 2008 Box Hill Club Championship, currently under way in Melbourne over several weeks.

The following are events that are coming soon. These events are part of the 2008 Myer Tan Australian Chess Grand Prix, a large chess competition with prizes (all strong events are normally part of the grand prix).
