Just an amazing number of entrants!

BIGGEST ROOKIES SHIELD TURNOUT EVER!

It was an exciting problem to have - not enough chess sets to cover the 86 entrants in our biggest ever tournament! But once we sorted out that problem everyone seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere of good fun and tough competition.

Last year's Rookies Shield Champion, Joseph Wong, proved that he is still the one to beat by remaining undefeated and finishing on 7 wins out of seven rounds. Joshua Devarajh came in second in the Open on 6, having only lost one game to Reginald Chong, the winner of the Adult division. Young Ethan Lim decided he was tired of only winning the Under 8 trophies and he nailed 3rd place in the Open with good wins against some of the toughest opponents.

Two others were also on a score of 6: new comer Chang Zhang was the top Under 14 player very closely followed by Karl Zelesco as the Under 12 winner. Denise Lim was ranked just ahead of Ruihong Lu on 5 wins. Jamie Cook became the Under 16 winner on 4.5 and on the same score Mingus Go-yang took out the Under 10 trophy and prize money. Althea Wong (yes, sister to Joseph) showed that she is a rising star by winning the Under 8 with a personal best of 4.5.

A big thank you musxt once again go to all the helpers at this successful event - especially Frits, Tom, Peter, Graham, PohChoo, Esther, and Priya - and to Yew Sze as Director of Play. Your help was essential with the high number of entries.

This year's Rookies Shield series is heading towards an exciting conclusion at the final round on November 14th.

Here are the finals Standings:

Please see the attached flyer about the forthcoming final Rookies Shield competition for this year. We hope for a good representation from the club and our friends at this event on Sunday afternoon 14/11 at the Ferntree Gully library. However, please note that we do have a rating limit which limits participation to those who have a ACF classic rating below 1700 at the start of the year.

If you can enter, please do so on-line at Ranges Chess Club well before the day so we have a good idea of numbers.

Hope to see you there.

Warm regards,

Paul Bearup,
Director of Play,
Ranges Chess Club.
