There are a couple of strong events coming up, most notably the Elwood Bendigo Bank Open (which I won two years ago!). There is also the Ryde-Eastwood Weekender, which also should be of considerable strength.

CV Secondary Schools Championship Finals 2008
The 2008 CV Secondary Schools Championship Finals (or simply State Chess Finals) was held on Saturday, September the 13th. This event was incredibly strong and, according to arbiter IM Leonid Sandler, was a stronger event than the Victorian Junior Championship. The event was won by a strong "Scotch Cardinal" team, with Eugene Schön (1938) being highest point-scorer. Scotch College will now move onto the national competition.
The final standings were
1. Scotch College
2. Balwyn High

An interschool chess competition, the Balwyn High CV Secondary Schools Competition, was held at Balwyn High School. It was a 7-round tournament with many schools competing. Teams consist of 5 players, players cannot play against teammates but can play against players from other teams in the same school. The team which scores the most points, with the most possible being 28, wins the event.
Scotch College Team 1 won the event, with players (in order of scoring from most points to least) Zhigen Lin (2104), Derek Yu (1886), Eugene Schon (1960), Nicholas Liu (1428) and Kai Nagao.
The best individual results, which received trophies, were:
1st Chris Wallis (2153) 6.5/7
