OZBase

One of the reasons why Canberra Chess punches well above its weight compared to the rest of the country is the hard work put in by a small bunch of dedicated volunteers.
One such hard worker is Paul Dunn, who a few years ago established Ozbase, a web site devoted to archiving Australian games of chess. The aim of the site is to "hold games of Australian Chessplayers and games played in chess events held in Australia".
Paul is especially interested in getting games played by Australian players overseas, as such games played pre-1980 are often hard to track down.
If you have any games or tournaments that you can provide (and aren't already there), Paul would appreciate your input. Just click on the link to Ozbase and check out the treasure trove he has created.
