2019 Wendy Terry Memorial tournament held on 16th and 17th April, 2019.
2019 Wendy Terry Memorial Tournament.
This 2019 tournament was held on 6th and 7th April, 2019 at Rothwell, Queensland. There were six rounds with a prize pool totalling $2,000.00.
The event was organised by the Queensland Women’s Chess League (Gail Young – coordinator) with the main sponsors being BBC Painting and the Redcliffe Chess Club.
This tournament is an annual highlight in the Queensland Chess scene which recognises the significant contribution made by a remarkable woman who was a chess coach; administrator and player despite her long term health challenges. Organisers were pleased with the roll up
There were 62 players in attendance, with two IM’s (Solomon and McClymont) and a strong contingent of juniors anxious to take on the old guard. For the statistically minded, the average rating was 1147 (highest 2383 and lowest of 287) and of the 149 games played white won 67, black 69 and only 13 were drawn – fighting chess was the order of the tournament!!
The event was conducted in a friendly atmosphere with several players treating this as a training prelude to the 2019 Doeberl Cup.
It was an exciting last round with four players sharing the lead on 4.5/5 and only one of those players won – Tony Zhong who defeated Igor Paevskiy in a close, hard fought game. Stephen Solomon and Brodie McClymont drew in another fascinating battle.
So, to the winners:
1st: Tony Zhong on 5.5/6.
=2nd Stephen Solomon, Brodie McClymont, Ben Peach and Charith Silva on 5/6.
Rating Group A was won outright by Jason Chan with 5/6.

Organisers were sure that the late Wendy Terry would of been very pleased to see the ongoing and very active chess scene in Queensland; the number of, and especially, the talented juniors who are participating in formal tournaments and the quality of coaching that these juniors are receiving. All augers well for the continuation of this annual tournament.
