consistent performer by far in the Under 12 Open. He

was undefeated in the tournament, only conceding

three draws. Yi Liu, Laurence’s nearest rival, won his

final round game against Pasan Perera to secure

second place in the tournament, half a point behind

Laurence.

Harry’s final round draw with Laurence gave Anurag

Sannidhanam and Michael Chan the chance to force a

playoff with Harry for the Under 10 title if either could

manage to win their final round. Anurag managed to

win, but Michael could only draw meaning that a

playoff would be required to split Harry and Anurag –

the Under 10 Rapid Play Champion. The first rapid

playoff match finished as a draw, but Harry defeated

Anurag in the second rapid game to win the playoff

and the title 1½–½.

A playoff was also required to determine the Under 8

champion. Peter Wallmueller held a one point lead in

the race for the title over Anton Smirnov and Daniel

Yuan, but had a difficult final round pairing with Cedric

Koh. Peter’s eventual loss to Cedric gave Anton or

Daniel the chance to catch him. Anton defeated Ethan

Derwent, but Daniel lost to Anand Gupte leaving Peter

and Anton to playoff for the Under 8 title.

The playoff was a fascinating encounter with the game

quality belittling their young age. The first game was a

great tussle throughout – all the way to the drawn rook

ending. Both players played excellent moves despite

the rapid play time control. The final game was

decided by an unfortunate mistake. Anton captured

with the wrong piece, allowing a back-rank checkmate.

If he had captured the other way, he would have been

a piece up and the result could have been very

different. Peter pounced on the miscalculation,

winning the playoff and the title 1½–½.

Leaping Leteisha!

OK, I promise to stop with the bad titles. I am

beginning to sound more and more like our beloved

Chief Arbiter! Leteisha Simmonds won her final round

game against Joanne Mason to win the Under 12 Girls

title. Abbie Kanagarajah also won to finish half a point

behind Leteisha. The two leaders won their final five

games in the tournament, pushing each other all the

way to the end!

Leteisha’s only dropped point in the tournament was a

loss to Abbie in round five. Abbie then suffered an

unfortunate setback in round six when she lost to

Jenny Yum in a winning position. This gave Leteisha a

half point advantage which she never relinquished.

The eventual winner of the Under 10 Girls

Championship was less clear-cut. Five players had the

chance to win the title! Grace Alvares had pole position

on 5.5/10, half a point ahead of a chasing group of four

players, but also had one of the more difficult final

round pairings against third-placed Clarise Koh.

Katherine McGregor, one of the girls in the chasing

group, received the final round bye to move to 6/11, so

Grace would have to win to claim the title or draw to

force a playoff. Clarise proved too strong for Grace in

the end, so it was up to the three remaining players on

5/10 to see if they could catch Katherine on 6 points.

Helen Pretorius and Maria Ditu, two of the Under 10

title contenders on 5 points, lost to their older

opponents, but Kashish Christian, the final player able

to catch Katherine, won her final round game to force

yet another playoff!

After another close playoff battle where the rapid and

lightning playoff games finished 1–1, we saw another

Armageddon tie breaker, this time between Katherine

and Kashish. Kashish had the luxury of being assured of

at least the Under 8 Girls title, even if she lost the

playoff. Kashish, however, was not willing to settle for

the Under 8 Girls title and played with an amazing

amount of poise, in the end winning the final

Armageddon playoff on time.

Kashish’s victory in the Under 10 title race saw Charlie-

Rose MacLennan take out the Under 8 title with some

very strong play, scoring 3/11 in the tournament.

Bulletin Awards

The following awards are presented by the bulletin

staff. Unfortunately no prizes are available due to

budgetary restraints and general disorganisation, but

your names will be etched into history forever

nonetheless.

Neatest Scoresheets – Bulletin Editor’s Favourites!

The following players write scoresheets with such

grace and precision that we wish they could notate

every game in the tournament! Thank you for making

our lives much easier.

1st Place:

1. Under 18 Open – Michael Gearing (QLD)

2. Under 18 Girls – Shan-Shan Qiao (NSW)*

3. Under 12 Open – Isaac Ng (VIC)

4. Under 12 Girls – Caroline Shan (NSW)

Honourable Mentions:

1. Under 18 Open – Joseph Nguyen (NSW)

2. Under 18 Girls – Winnie Yum (QLD)*

3. Under 12 Open – Pasan Perera (NSW)

4. Under 12 Girls – Alannah Byrne (QLD)

* The Under 18 Girls division was the hardest to judge. Winnie

had extraordinarily neat and accurate scoresheets, but Shan-

Shan used liquid paper to correct her mistakes and that

attention to detail got her over the line in the end.

Page 3: 2008 AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Longest Game with Legible Scoresheets

1. 110 moves – Robin Wei and Samuel Dalton (round 7)

2. 107 moves – Robin Wei and Benjamin Encel (round 11)

3. 101 moves – Thibault De Villenoisy and Joshua Stevens

(round 6)

Robin attempted to beat his round 7 effort in his final

round game, but could only manage to reach 107

moves against Benjamin Encel before resigning. Had he

kept going, Robin would have easily eclipsed the 110-

move game he played in round 7. The three games

listed above were the only “three-scoresheet games”

in the tournament. William Xu retains his title for

another year.

Shortest Game without Forfeits

1. 7 moves – Christian Nabung and Max Thornley (round 4)

2. 9 moves – Dominic Nguyen and Nicholas Leung (round 11)

3. 10 moves – Jonathan Yuen and Chris Boni (round 4)

4. 10 moves – Heath Dunsford and Vincent Chen (round 10)

In the four “10 moves or less” games, there was only

one “Grandmaster Draw”. GM Dominic Nguyen and

GM Nicholas Leung’s final round 9-move draw

unfortunately did not see them take the award away

from Christian Nabung’s opening trick win in round 4.

As a testament to the fighting chess displayed by all

competitors throughout the tournament, there were

only 3 sub-20 move draws – all in the final round.

Most Shocking Performance ... in a Good Way

The following players performed much better than

their initial seeding would have indicated, surprising

many with some shock results.

1st Place:

1. Under 18 Open – Fedja Zulfic (SA)

Seed 13 in the tournament is unlucky for some, but

not for Mr Zulfic. 8.5/11 and =2nd

place overall saw

him playoff for the Under 16 title, where he

unfortunately lost in the final ‘Armageddon’ tie

break. Despite this, Fedja should still be proud of his

excellent performance over the two weeks, taking

home the Under 18 2nd

place trophy for his efforts.

2. Under 18 Girls – Amy Brown (WA)

The only unrated player in the tournament played

excellent chess throughout the two weeks, even

having a hand in deciding the eventual tournament

winner. 7/13 is a fantastic score and was good

enough to win the trophy for 2nd

Under 14. Amy’s

solid play throughout the tournament should see

her receive a rating very shortly and it will be high.

3. Under 12 Open – Peter Wallmueller (VIC)

The unrated Peter won the Under 8 title this year in

a playoff. What was impressive during his victory

was his comeback in the second half of the

tournament. Peter won a total of 4.5/5 from rounds

6 to 10 never giving up and growing in confidence

from round-to-round.

4. Under 12 Girls – Kashish Christian (NSW)

Kashish was one of two Under 8 players in the Girls

Under 12 tournament and scored an excellent 6/11

against much older opposition. Kashish actually

managed to win a higher age group award, the

Under 10 title in a playoff! Kashish performed

superbly during the tournament and thoroughly

deserved her results and her multiple trophies.

Honourable Mentions:

1. Under 18 Open – Robin Wei (QLD)

2. Under 18 Girls – Charmian Zhang (NSW)

3. Under 12 Open – Bernard Chau (NSW)

4. Under 12 Girls – Joanne Mason (ACT)

“I have excess luggage ... I won too many trophies”

The following players had an extremely successful two

weeks winning trophies in all four competitions and

may have difficulties with oversized luggage at the

airport on the way home.

There is a joke going around that Junta is able to start

his own metal refinery after his victories in the

tournament. We are unable to confirm or deny the

rumour at this stage...

Congratulations to Sally Yu and Kashish Christian who

took home trophies for 1st

place in every tournament!

Thank You!

Tournaments with 168 players can only be run with the

tireless help of a great deal of people. There are many

people who deserve our thanks:

• Tournament Director Richard Gastineau-Hills

Richard worked tirelessly from start to finish for the

tournament, submitting the initial bid to the ACF and being

the last person out the door at the end of the tournament.

Some of his other (just as important) tasks included assistant

arbiter, T-shirt vendor, bulletin proof-reader, after hours

canteen liaison, keeper of the chess sets and most

importantly, writer of the cheques at the end of the

tournament!

• Organiser Bonnie Wu

Bonnie performed many of the duties which made the

tournament run more smoothly. From overseeing the initial

layout of coaching rooms to printing out name labels and

signs, Bonnie had a hand in nearly everything to do with the

tournament – apart from actually playing chess!

• Chief Arbiter Charles Zworestine, Arbiters Roland

Eime, Brian Allison and Assistant Arbiter Jennya

Charomova

The arbiters are responsible for ensuring that tournaments

run smoothly and for making rounds start 5-10 minutes late

after readings from “The Book of FIDE”. Charles, Roland,

Brian and Eugenia all performed their duties exceedingly

well and deserve our thanks!

• Problem Solving Championship organisers Geoff

Foster, Dennis Hale and Ian Shanahan

Without the help of these three men, the problem solving

championships would not have taken place. Their problems

were both challenging and enjoyable, too challenging for a

particular bulletin editor and the chief arbiter...

• Entry processor Eunice Koh

Eunice made sure that all entries to the tournament were

taken in a prompt manner, answering all sorts of enquiries

and reading all sorts of handwriting on entry forms – not an

easy task for a tournament with 168 players! Thanks Eunice!

• Scorers at the front desk Shun Ikeda, Jenni Oliver,

Agus Setiabudi, Frank Derwent, Mirabelle Guo and

Jenny Mason

The scorers gave up their time to make the organiser’s life

much easier. They showed compassion at all times and

ensured the tournament ran smoothly when no arbiter was

in sight!

• Bulletin helpers during the tournament: Junta

Ikeda, Deborah Ng, Shan-Shan Qiao, Gareth Oliver,

Charmian Zhang, Stephanie Leung, Penelope Hoey,

Ronald Yu, Shervin Rafizadeh, Ronald Scott, Sarah

Anton, Anthony To, Louis Chu, Jonathan Szeto,

Edwin Wu, Jonas Muller, Kevin Tan, Sammy Grigg,

Andrew Brown, Emma Guo, John Papantoniou,

Bernard Chau, Callum McCrow, Mrs Shang, Mrs Ng,

Mr Wan, Mrs Cheung and Mr Siow-Lee

These people worked very hard in the bulletin room (some

harder than others, right Shervin?) during the two weeks to

prepare the bulletins you received at the end of your games.

Whether it was deciphering the hieroglyphics on certain

problem scoresheets, stapling and photocopying the bulletin

or providing entertainment to other bulletin helpers, their

help was greatly appreciated.

• Canteen helpers during the tournament: Bonnie

Wu (canteen coordinator); Winnie Chau, Janet

Dunbabin, Linda Wu (team leaders); Cherry Chen,

Esther Cheung, Tracy Cowell, John Gu, Mengyi He,

Shelley Hong, Tina Huddleston, Eliza MacLennan,

Theresa Nguyen, Danny Pan, Peter Papp, Vin

Rebulado, Jin Shan, Grace Shang, Weng Sisu (all

canteen helpers); Helen Tan (T-shirt selling during

the tournament); Winnie Wong (catering for

opening and closing ceremonies); and another

helper, who played a major role, wishes to remain

anonymous. There were other canteen helpers too,

whose names we didn't record – apologies if your

name has been omitted.

The real heroes of the tournament were the courageous

men and women serving at the canteen who held off the

massive stampedes of kids to make sure we all had a chance

to be fed.

• John Gu for lending five computers to the bulletin

staff for entering games.

• Dr Nigel Nettheim, Bob Meadley and an

anonymous person who donated extra money for

the problem solving championships.

• The A-Teens, Matchbox Twenty and Spice Girls

These bands provided the inspiration for multiple bulletins,

some songs were even played time after time after time

after time on repeat... yes, just the one song on repeat over

and over and over again.

A number of organisations should also be thanked for

their support of the event:

• The New South Wales Junior Chess League

(NSWJCL) for financially supporting the event.

• The New South Wales Chess Association (NSWCA),

North Sydney Leagues Club Chess Club, Manly

Leagues Club Chess Club and Australian Chess

Federation (ACF) for lending equipment for the

duration of the tournament.

• The Australian Academy of Commerce for their

generous sponsorship towards the event.

• Cranbrook School for use of their fabulous venue,

in particular, Mark O’Hara, the facilities manager at

Cranbrook.

2008 Australian Junior Champion Speech

The following is a copy of Junta Ikeda’s Closing

Ceremony speech and some words of encouragement

for juniors playing in this year’s tournament. Junta is

still as photogenic as ever!

“Firstly, thanks again to Richard Gastineau-Hills and the

NSWJCL for successfully organising this tournament,

and the arbiters, Charles Zworestine, Roland Eime and

Brian Allison. Thanks to all the parents who helped in

the canteen, at the scoring table, everyone who helped

enter games throughout the course of the tournament,

the bulletin editors, Heather Huddleston and Michael

Lip, Michael also for being the webmaster. Thanks to

the people who composed problems for the problem

solving event, and all the people who helped in the

main event and three side events. I’d like to also

thanks to my family for their support over the years,

and especially my dad for his support over these few

weeks, my coach Andras Toth, and Igor Bjelobrk and

Ingela Eriksson for letting me stay at their place

throughout the tournament.

Thanks to Cranbrook School for providing us with a

great venue. 6 years ago, when I was still 10 years old, I

participated in my first Australian Juniors (U/12) at the

same school, which I think would have been my very

first interstate tournament. I remember how I was

nervous and excited at the same time, but I have

played in every Juniors after that and built up some

experience.

Back at the start of 2002, my rating was only 639, and

there were much less players over 1000 in the U/12

section than now, so I’m happy that the level of young

players has improved. I think it was after that

tournament that I started working really hard on chess,

because I realised that there were so many better

junior players than me and I wanted to really improve

my chess. In the next ACF rating list, I went up to 901,

then 1138, and then to 1400, making me one of the

favourites for the 2003 U/12 Open.

Chess is different from sports such as soccer or

basketball because it is a single player sport, and the

results really come back at you quickly, which improves

your self responsibility, control and discipline. For

example, if you haven’t worked on chess for quite a

while, you’re not going to feel as confident in your

game and won’t have the full motivation, whereas if

you regularly play serious games, receive good

coaching, play through games from a book or analyse

your own games, there’s always room for

improvement and you keep wanting to improve to the

next level and achieve a higher rating in the next list.

To the juniors, I believe the best way to improve your

chess is not to study pages and pages of opening

theory or simply read various chess books, but to

analyse your own games in detail, try and figure out

what your strengths and weaknesses are, think about

how you can improve, and if reading books with

famous games in it, not just looking at the diagrams

but go through the games on a board, comparing the

moves in the games with the moves you might have

played if you were in the players’ position.

To the parents, thank you for supporting your

children’s chess, as it takes a lot of time, money,

patience, stress and effort to do this, but please don’t

pressure them negatively, or talk to them or treat

them angrily after they lose, as that can only have a

negative effect on their play. Younger juniors, who are

only starting to gain independence, tend to play games

better when thinking of how a win would make them

happy, rather than thinking about what might happen

after their game if they lose. Also, an important thing

to remember is that you can always learn a few things

from every game you lose, but just regretting playing a

losing move won’t help your chess at all.

I was happy to win this year’s Australian Juniors, as I

was very confident and relaxed at the same time that I

could win. I was also top seed at last years Juniors in

Canberra, but I don’t think I was ready to become the

champion then, as I felt the pressure stacked on me

and I didn’t take the tournament game by game, move

by move. Reflecting the 6 years from the 2002 Juniors

to this year’s, I’ve always tried to stay positive towards

my chess and I think the hard work has paid off. I hope

Andrew Brown or Yi Yuan can win the next year’s

Australian Juniors, making it three years in a row for

the ACT. A thing about long chess tournaments is that

you tend to miss out on exercise, so although the

weather was bad in the first half of this tournament, it

recovered in the second half and we got to play some

soccer like the previous years, which was good. I hope

that tradition goes on in the Juniors from next year as

well.

This year I missed some things out in the speech at the

closing ceremony, and thanks to the generosity of the

bulletin editor, I was able to write this up to make up

for it, but I think it would be interesting to have the

champion write something for the final bulletin every

year from now on. Finally, thanks to all the players who

participated in all the events and I hope you all have

fun in future Australian Junior Championships.”
