The 2019 WA Junior Allegro Chess Championships was held as a 9 round swiss on Sunday, 8th September, at Leeming Primary School with 31 players participating. In the under 18 division, Yihe Fu (Rebo) was the clear favourite going into the tournament and won overall with a score of 8/9. In his final year as a junior player, Kevin Shah Mansouri finished second on 6.5/9 whilst promising players Jamie Laubbacher and Brent Geronimo tied for third on 6/9. Jamie came close to defeating Rebo in round 6 when he emerged a piece up but Rebo was able to regain the piece and went onto secure victory. In the under 14 division, Kundan Dharmapuri was awarded first place finishing on 7.5/9 which included a thrilling final round victory over Jamie Laubbacher. Naftali Resnick was awarded second on 5/9 with Celine Ong half a point behind in third on 4.5/9. Celine was also awarded the 2019 WA Girls Allegro Champion. Harry Geronimo continued his good performance at junior tournaments to win the under 12 division on 6/9 with Oscar Gao and Minh Nguyen tying for second on 5.5/9. Barath Harirajesh produced some very encouraging results winning against some of the stronger players in the tournament and won the under 10 division on 5.5/9. He was also awarded the Biggest Upset trophy. The under 8 division was fought very closely throughout the day. Eamon Harris finished on 4/9 to finish first with second being shared between Chau Minh Nguyen, Eric Deng and Isaac Li on 3/9. Apart from some late arrivals and a withdrawal in the afternoon, the tournament ran smoothly with minimal disputes. The chess was played in good spirit although numbers were lower than last year. I would like to thank all players for participating and for their cooperation throughout the day. A special thank you as well to Alan Wolstencroft for his invaluable help throughout the day and also to Leeming Primary School and Southern Suburbs Chess Club for making the venue available.
