Morning/Afternoon

Junior Rapids – Rounds 1-6

The first six rounds of the Junior Rapid take place today, morning and afternoon, with Rounds 7-9 tomorrow morning. Ashwin GopiKrishna goes in the U12, Mary Cawdery in the U10, with Amaan Sheikh and Sarah Cawdery in the U8.

Today’s rounds are: 10.30 am, 11.50 am, 1.10 pm, 2.30 pm, 3.50 pm and 5.10 pm.

Ashwin finished the day in the U12 with 3½/6; only acute time pressure prevented him winning in Round 5. Oleg Verbytski rated 2155 is the hot favourite to win. Then there is a player on 1919 and a couple of 1800s, but the majority of the top half after 6 rounds are rated between 1617 and 1787; a tough section indeed.

Mary had an excellent day in the U10 section. She lost only one game – in Round 2 – but has won the other five to end the day on 5/6, one of five players on that score in the joint lead.

Amaan and Sarah had a tough time in the U8 section. After five rounds, Sarah had only the point gained as a Bye, but finished the day with her first win over-the-board; always good to finish with a win. Amaan after four rounds had just a win from Round 2 to show for his efforts, but won his last two games of the day to finish on 50% 3/6.

The last three rounds tomorrow morning: 9.15 am, 10.35 am and 11.55 am.
