Don was a 9-time winner of the Dandenong Club Championship. He lost his vision completely from an eye disease but still remained a strong chess player using a Braille board and his opponent telling him what move was made. Don was a good friend with myself and my mother who shared their weekly phone call talking mainly about football and the Geelong Football team that they shared a love for.

From our Humble Beginnings in 1972, drawn together with the excitement of the World Chess Championship match of that year, a small group of Chess Enthusiasts gathered together to plan the Makings of a Chess Club.
That first Meeting took place in early 1973, with Bobby Fischer having been crowned World Champion a few months earlier.
On behalf of our current Committee and all 49 previous Committees we would like to invite all of you to join our 50th club championship.

It was very busy when 12 members of the Junior Chess Club took over two stalls at the Dandenong Market on June 10th. It was fun all day as the Public attempted to defeat the young chess stars. One challenger was successful and earned a full bag of the delicious Dandenong Market Donuts.
