is a very large seller. He also produced VHS and DVD material for Bad Bishop Ltd., a company related to Gambit, including a repertoire against the Nc6 Sicilian, based on the early Bb5 lines. He returned to New Zealand in 2006, winning his second New Zealand Chess Championship that year and a third champion's title in 2008. He has now reverted his player registration to the New Zealand Federation, making him eligible once more to play for his country of birth. In 2013, he purchased the old Saint Paul's church in Auckland, converting it into a chess coaching centre. In the 2017 New Year Honours Chandler was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to chess.
