A big “Thank You” from RCC Inc. President, Mark C. Stokes
-
A big thank you to all 86 players who supported our 2023 Leo Wilkinson Memorial and a hearty congratulations to our 6 co-winners who all scored 5 out of 6 : Kiamehr Baneshi, Benjamin Leong, Reyaansh Chakrabarty, Elaina Qiang, Austin Chen and Sravan Renjith. Well done to all the players who won other prizes too – Neil Fu, Jeeva Praveen, Calen Tang, Joshua Cooper, Max Windsor, Mark C Stokes, Dimitri Xuyuan Zou, Sophie Davis, Brian Indrawan, Yuwei Wang, Mason Lin, Olivia Chu, Oliver Petrick, Grace Wang, Alden Shen and Shubham Karthikeyam! Ben Leong’s upset R4 win over IM Brodie McClymont is well worth a look on Live Chess, as is Josh Cooper’s R2 effort and Neil Fu’s R3 effort against Brodie. Replay the games at https://livechess.aunz.net/ David Esmonde did another outstanding job as Chief Arbiter and he also looked after the DGT telecast of the 6 top boards as well as working out all the 23 prize winners prizes and a big thank you to Jason Chan, who kindly answered my SOS call for an Assistant Arbiter when Max Kershaw took ill, who also did a wonderful job as arbiter in J Block. Thanks a million David and Jason. The future of Queensland Chess looks brighter than ever after looking over the quality games played by our up and coming Juniors! Good luck to all who are now playing in the Queensland Chess Championship from Thursday night or the Queensland U1600 Championship from Friday night!
