Crosstable after Round 5 of Redcliffe Summer Swiss
Hi All
Jai Turner leads the 2025 Summer Swiss all by himself on 5/5 after wins over Marcos Diaz, Mark C Stokes, Rohan Pyne, Allan Fossey and Michael D’Arcy!
But in the final round, R6 on this Wednesday night February 26, Jai will play the number 1 seed David Beaumont and David can catch Jai if he wins. Rohan Pyne is also on 4 points and if Rohan and David both win, we could have a 3 way tie for first place!
The week after next, on Wednesday March 5, we will play the 2025 Redcliffe Chess Club Inc Blitz Chess Championship over 9 rounds, with 3 minutes each plus 2 seconds a move on the clock! The Adult entry fee for this one night Blitz Chess Championship is just $2 and the Junior under 18 years of age entry fee is just $1! It will be rated on the the QJ (Qld Junior) Rating List.
