2020 WA Junior Allegro Championships


2020 WA Junior Allegro Championships


The 2020 WA Junior Allegro Chess Championships was held as a one day 9 round swiss on Thursday, 1st October at Leeming Primary School with 53 players participating. A significant improvement in numbers on the previous year.

This tournament being an open one gave some of our younger players a chance to play against our stronger older players, although generally the older and more experienced players prevailed.

The winner with a perfect score of 9/9 was Yihe Fu (Rebo). Second was Oscar Gao with 7/9 (1st Under 14). Third equal with 6.5/9 were Jamie Laubbacher and Chas Underwood.

The rest of the age divisions were all closely fought contests.

The Under 12s was won by Aarnav Gupta with 6.5, closely followed on 6 points by Anoushka Gupta, Barath Harirajesh Eu Jin Khaw, Aaron Levine and Anthony Milner.

The Under 10s was won by Noah Taylor with 5.5 closely followed on 5 by Nathan Arav, Yonal De Vas, Eu Ming Khaw and Daren Vinod.

The Under 8s was won by Eric Deng on with 5.5 with Angus Chen second on 5 and third equal on 4 were Callan Arav, Senudi De Vas, Timofei Klimenko, Dario Manzi, Dillon Vinod, and Eric Young.

The Girls title was a very closely fought contest between Anoushka Gupta and Celine Ong which was eventually decided on the last round. Anoushka won with 5.5 and Celine came second with 5.

The tournament was run in a relatively quiet environment compared to previous years.

Special thanks to Andrew Hardegen, Pushpini Jayathissa, VC Leong and, Saminda De Vas who all contributed to the smooth running of the tournament and to all the players and parents who helped us set up and pack up. Thanks, are also due to the Leeming Primary School for providing the venue and the Southern Suburbs Chess Club for use of their furniture.
