Future Stars Tournament
On Saturday 8th May, the ACTJCL held a new event: the Future Stars Tournament. This event aimed to give our junior players with standard ratings under 500 experience playing standard or long time control games. Juniors played in small groups of between four and six players and upon finishing each round, analysed their games with two coaches.
Congratulations to our Future Stars winners:
Group 1: Shakthi Karthik 3/3 (Turner School)
Group 2: Colin Lim 2/3 (Canberra Grammar School) on tiebreak with Dev Raichura (2/3, Ngunnawal Primary School).
Group 3: Tomoki Horikawa 3/3 (Kaleen Primary School)
Group 4: William Doohan 3/3 (Burgmann Anglican School)
Group 5: Aneesh Divvela 3/3 (Brindabella Christian College)
Group 6: Ethan Yang 3/3 (Radford College)
Full crosstables are at the end of this message.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this event. Special thanks to Max Albert who did a wonderful job in his debut as an ACTJCL arbiter, to our assistant arbiter Shriya Karthik who was indispensable throughout the event, and to our fantastic coaches Steve Sengstock and Emma Guo for their insightful game analysis and invaluable advice to players.
Simul with GM Anton Smirnov
On the afternoon of Sunday 9th May, Grandmaster Anton Smirnov played a simultaneous exhibition against eighteen ACT junior players at Campbell High School. The simul went for approximately two and half hours and saw Anton victorious in sixteen games, with brothers Oscar and Lachlan Ho the only juniors to secure draws.
Many thanks to Anton for participating in this event.
