15 of the 16 R1 games of the 2025 Viv Greenelsh Memorial were decisive – the only other result was a draw and that was on board 1 between top seed Jai Turner and last week’s Blitz Chess winner Simon Yousafi! It was great to see such a good turn out of 32 players for the first round!

If you missed R1, you can still join in for R2 and we will give you a half point bye for R1 – just be in the F Block of Grace Lutheran College, Buchanan Street, Rothwell, by 7:45pm this coming Wednesday night March 19 to be included in the R2 pairings!

We wish all the Redcliffe Chess Club Inc players taking part in this weekend’s 7 round 2025 Gold Cup FIDE Open at Churchie all the very best – See Chesschat for the link to the Live Games! Good luck to all our Redcliffe Chess Club Inc Members Jai Turner, Rohan Pyne, Mark C Stokes, Tony Weller, Sophia Xu, Elizabeth Williams, Martin Post, Chris Basiaco and Aaron Hamilton in their games this weekend!
