Hall of Famers: Sinquefields honored for contributions to chess

Hours before his well-deserved induction into the U.S. Chess Hall of Fame last week, Rex Sinquefield's thoughts were turning to another seemingly underachieving Hall of Famer, pro baseball catcher Bob Uecker. Uecker famously mocked his modest on-field skill set, but he got a ticket to Cooperstown for his long career as a broadcaster, comedian, pitchman and ambassador for the game.

Mareeba hobby trainer Alex Malliff is a big fan of highly rated rival Tennessee Boy but is confident his promising sprinter Cleaver Greene can win another round at Cairns on Tuesday.
Malliff works as a plumber for the Mackay Shire Council and is looking forward to Cleaver Greene clashing with the Roy Chillemi-trained Tennessee Boy in the QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap over 950 metres.
Malliff has only a small team of eight horses in work and rates Cleaver Greene as one of the best horses he’s ever trained.

New Delhi, March 9 : Chess player Koneru Humpy won the BBC India Sportswoman of the Year award for 2020. The award was based on a public vote in which Humpy beat sprinter Dutee Chand, shooter Manu Bhaker, wrestler Vinesh Phogat and hockey captain Rani Rampal.
"Being an indoor game, chess doesn't get as much attention as sports like cricket gets in India. But with this award, I hope the game will draw people's attention," she said after winning the honour on Monday.

33 dead in 48 days: Police "disturbed" by horror road toll


 
Acting Chief Superintendent Ray Rohweder described Queensland's rising road toll as "disturbing" and has called on all road users to step up their game and simply "do the right thing".
A total of 33 people have been killed as a result of traffic crashes across the state this year - 15 more than the same time last year.
 
 
"I find that quite disturbing," Acting Chief Superintendent Rohweder said.
"We really need to get the message through to all those drivers out there using the road network that they need to obey the road rules.
"It is the driving public who decide how they conduct themselves on the road."
