FM Manuel Weeks has been reappointed as captain of the Australian Men's Olympiad team. Weeks has served in this role for some time now and appears to be the clear favourite of the established Olympiad players. (Under the current Australian system, Olympiad players have a big say in who gets to be their captain). Good luck to Manuel and to their Olympiad campaign.
We should add that our brave captain is currently playing in the Reykjavik Open, in Iceland. Two days ago he faced off against the Prince of Chess, GM Magnus Carlsen.
