The 2017 Christmas Lightning event was held at the Leeming Primary School on Sunday 17th December. 34 players in 4 divisions participated in the 9 round event. The overall winner was Ihsan Ferozkohi with a score of 8.0. The full prize list is given below. Prizes consisted of Xmas stockings with a small cash bonus. Novelty book prizes were given during each round. It was very pleasing to have so many juniors play in this event including someone performing very successfully in their very first tournament. Hopefully they will continue to participate in weekend events and have many successful results against their older opponents. As done in previous years three rounds were played with Fisher time control, three with Bronstein time control and three with guillotine. In each round there were novelty book prizes. The first win of the day was by Patrick Gong. Yonal De Vas and Minh Nguyen received recognition for most time on the clock in the Fischer time control with a minute more than he started with. The two biggest upsets of the day were by Kevin Mansouri. Many of the book prizes were won by playing fixed openings. Thank you to all the players for joining in the day's activities. Everyone had an enjoyable day and will hopefully participate again in December 2018. Thank you to Southern Suburbs Chess Club for hosting the event. Merry Christmas, Gordon Dunlop. |
