Congratulations to the winner, Yita Choong (5.5/6). In second place was FM Tristan Boyd (5/6). Western Australia's top 2 junior players, Patrick Gong (16) and George Carolin-Unkovich (17), finished equal 3rd with 4/6. Two slightly younger juniors also played particularly well: Sri Dharmapuri (13; equal 1st U1900), and Andrey Lugovskoy (14; equal 1st U1600). Two of WA's most dependable weekend tournament players, Nedeljko Tomic and Gary Donaldson, began the year on a strong note (equal 1st U1900 and equal 1st U1600 respectively). Despite some technical problems (e.g. a broken printer) and a couple of very minor incidents, all players enjoyed their weekend and contributed to some quality chess. I hope that many more WA chess players will be encouraged to support the CAWA weekend tournaments in 2016. Report by Andrew Hardegen |
