He finished equal first with Trevor Hay in the 1972 Australian Chess Championship in Melbourne. The play-off match between them was tied 5-5, so they were declared joint champions, a relatively rare occurrence.〔Australian Chess Championship 1974 – 100 Best Games, Edited by W. MacLean, published by Chess Mates of Australia, 1974〕 In the 1972 Asian Zonal Championship in Hong Kong, he finished equal second with Kan and Tan, behind Eugenio Torre.〔(The World Chess Championship Zonals 1972-1975 ) (mark-weeks.com )〕 After the play-off match with Tan and Kan was also tied, the second qualifying place into the Interzonal was decided by a random drawing of lots. If Fuller had chosen the right envelope, he would have automatically gained the IM title and the Interzonal place, but Tan Lian Ann chose the correct envelope and went on to the Interzonal in Petrópolis, Brazil.〔The Doeberl Cup - Fifty Years of Australian Chess History, by Bill Egan, self published, 2012〕〔(1973 Petropolis Interzonal Tournament ) (mark-weeks.com )〕 In the 1974 Asian Team Chess Championship in Penang, Fuller played on board one for Australia and scored 6/7, winning the individual gold medal.〔 Fuller won the Australian Open in 1973 and 1975, and the Doeberl Cup in 1974, 1975 and 1983.〔(List of Doeberl Cup winners )〕 He won the New South Wales state championship in 1965, 1986, and in 1988 (shared with Dmitry Gedevanishvili).〔(List of NSW Champions ) NSW Chess Association (www.nswca.org.au )〕 He won the NSW Lightning Chess Championship in 1967, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1986,〔(List of NSW Lightning Champions ) NSW Chess Association (www.nswca.org.au )〕 and the City of Sydney Championship in 1964, 1965, 1966, 1971 and jointly with Flatow and Levin in 1981.〔(City of Sydney Champions ) NSW Chess Association (www.nswca.org.au )〕 Fuller shared second place at the British Chess Championship in Coventry 1970, and in Morecambe 1975, as the events were also open to citizens of any Commonwealth country.〔(Chess column ) by Raymond Keene in The Sunday Times on 20 September 2013〕 Fuller represented Australia in nine Chess Olympiads between 1964 and 1990, usually on board 2 (six times), scoring 59 points from 106 games (+40 =38 -28).〔(Maxwell Fuller ) player statistics from (www.olimpbase.org )〕 His Olympiad victories include wins against IM Lazaros Viantiadis (1968), IM Peter Biyiasas and IM Tüdeviin Üitümen (1974), IM Juan Manuel Bellón López (1976) and IM Leif Øgaard (1978).
