THOMSON RAPID : FINAL STANDINGS & PRIZE GIVING

Image
 The Final Standings are : Senior standings   Junior Standings  The Prize winners with their prizes The Junior Champ Nathan Jaylene 3rd Guangming 2nd  The Senior Champ Arlan so I gave him the prize Darren 2nd  Jireh 3rd Benson finished 4th    All players had a good time over the last 3 Thursdays, with some takeaways on how not to lose winning games in the Junior section. There were many upsets which won games were lost due to a missed back rank mate. Some need to learn the Laws of Chess (understandably, it being their first tournament). With the prizes we hope to inspire more to read about chess and learn from the books. It is by far the most useful way (as reading makes you ponder).  Thanks again to Arlan and Ryan for assisting throughout the tournament!
