Please find attached the Round 3 crosstable and results for the 2026 Lou Wilkinson Memorial, played on Wednesday night, May 13.

Round 3 Summary:

Jai Turner appears to be enjoying another purple patch, defeating David Beaumont with black to become outright leader on a perfect score of 3/3. It was another very interesting battle between these two strong players. Jai is closely followed by Nikola Maljkovic and new member Ryan Liaw on 2.5, with these two players defeating Chris Gravestock and Martin Post, respectively. Another 11 players follow on 2/3, so with 3 rounds still to play, this tournament is once again a very competitive affair as the club continues to display great depth of talent. It is pleasing to see the weekly numbers so strong – a total of 36 players have played in this tournament so far. Well done, all!

Next Round – Round 4 – 8:00PM Wednesday 20 May (tonight):

The pairings will be finalised at 8PM sharp so please try to be at Rothwell by 7:45PM to ensure a timely start to the round. Feel free to arrive as early as 7PM for social chess!
