The Doeberl Cup has been one of Australia's premier weekend chess tournaments since its inception in 1963. It has attracted more overseas Grandmasters and International Masters than any other Australian chess tournament, including such notables as Tony Miles, Englands's first GM; Larry Christiansen, many times US Champion, and Eduard Gufeld, for years a leading Soviet player. It has been a challenging arena for all leading Australian players, including Ian Rogers and Darryl Johansen. The Doeberl Cup continues to grow in prestige every year.
Bill Egan is a Canberra chess player who has played in most Doeberl Cup events since 1975, and was also for many years either the President of the ACT Chess Association, or the Chairman of the Doeberl Cup Organizing Committee. He and his wife Jean have hosted or entertained many of the international players in their home, as well as countless Australian players.
