Crosstable R1-3 of the 2025 Redcliffe Allegro Championship played on Wed night September 3

Please find attached the crosstable for Rounds 1-3 of the 2025 RCC Allegro Championship played last Wednesday September 3.

In the 2025 edition of the Redcliffe Allegro Championship, a strong field of 30 players took part to battle it out for the crown of Redcliffe’s best rapid-chess player. The 15 min + 3 secs/move time control demands a hybrid skill-set of strategic planning and sharp tactical awareness under the added pressure of the clock, with many games reducing to a time-scramble in the latter stages. It also provided an opportunity for players to play 3 competitive games in a single evening.

We currently have 3 players in the lead on a perfect 3/3. Jai Turner transferred his stellar classical chess form to the shorter format in winning his first 3 games, and was joined on 3/3 by talented juniors Filip Simic and Brett Oakley, who at just 9 years of age is the second-youngest player in the field. Well done, guys!

Behind these players, we have 6 players on 2/3 and another 7 players on 1.5/3, so with 3 rounds to go next Wednesday night the tournament is still wide open! If you missed last Wednesday night but would still like to play in the tournament, we can give you 2 half-point byes for Rounds 1-3. Rounds 4-6 will commence next Wednesday night, September 10 at 8PM so please try to be at Rothwell by 7:30PM. It is great to see so many players arriving as early as 7PM to socialise and play friendly games before the competitive rounds commence!

Thank you to everyone who has paid their $2 adult entry fee OR $1 junior entry fee for players under 18 years of age!

If you still need to pay your entry fee, please bring a gold coin along next Wednesday night or Direct Deposit to the Redcliffe Chess Club Inc’s Westpac Account using your surname as the reference:

Last Wednesday, a special presentation was held for the winners of the recently concluded 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial. With the recent passing of RCC club stalwart Norm Braybrooke, this was the first edition of the tournament. Norm’s son, Colin, was in attendance to present trophies to Jai Turner (overall winner of the tournament with 7/7!) and best juniors Simon Yousafi (4.5/7) and James Xia (4.5/7). Colin paid tribute to Norm’s lasting legacy at the club and mentioned how proud Norm would be to see the club in such great shape. Attached are a selection of photos from this presentation.

Fast approaching on the weekend of September 27/28, Redcliffe Chess Club will be hosting the 2025 Leo Wilkinson Memorial, a 6-round 60min + 20sec ACF and QJ rated classical tournament.

Crosstable R7 of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial played on Wed night August 27

Please find attached the R7 crosstable of the 2025 RCC Norm Braybrooke Memorial played last night, Wednesday August 27.

In the final round of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial, Jai Turner completed a perfect tournament with a swift victory over the improving youngster Braeden Levy. With his “picket-fence” score of 7/7, Jai wins the tournament by a full point; a convincing performance during which he was in control of each game he played. This leaves Jai poised for a strong performance at the upcoming RCC Leo Wilkinson Memorial weekender (see details below) where he will be one of the tournament favourites. Congratulations, Jai!

David Pando concluded a fantastic tournament by outclassing the dangerous James Xia on Board 2. David finishes the tournament in clear second place on 6/7, a full point and a half ahead of the chasing pack. David’s only loss in the tournament was to Jai and he will surely be seeking revenge over the board in their next encounter! Well done, David!

In a four-way tie for third place (4.5/7) were talented juniors James Xia and Simon Yousafi, as well as experienced players Greg Orme and Allan Fossey. Well done, guys!

Thank you to all the players in this tournament for both their efforts over the board and disciplined approach in adhering to all aspects of chess etiquette. Redcliffe Chess Club continues to strive to maintain a friendly, social atmosphere whilst providing professional playing conditions. It is also great to see so many new faces each tournament!

Thank you to everyone who has paid their $20 adult entry fee OR $6 junior entry fee for players under 18 years of age!

The next event on the RCC chess calendar is the 2025 Redcliffe Allegro (15mins + 3secs) Championship which will be a 6-round tournament split evenly across the next two Wednesday nights, September 3 and September 10. Look forward to 6 exciting rounds of rapid chess!

On the weekend of September 27/28, Redcliffe Chess Club will be hosting the 2025 Leo Wilkinson Memorial, a 6-round 60min + 20sec ACF and QJ rated classical tournament.

Crosstable R6 of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial played on Wed night August 20

Please find attached the R6 crosstable of the 2025 RCC Norm Braybrooke Memorial played tonight, Wednesday August 20.

In the penultimate round of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial, the Jai Turner chess juggernaut rolled on with a clinical display of positional chess proving too much to handle for the talented youngster Simon Yousafi. With this win, Jai moves to a perfect 6/6, and with just 1 round to go is now a full point ahead, guaranteeing him at least a share of first place. Well done Jai!

Board 2 saw David Pando exhibit excellent technique in converting a single-pawn advantage over the experienced Greg Orme. David remains in outright second place with 5/6. Having already played Jai in this tournament, this leaves David well positioned to at least secure second place.

Rohan Pyne threw the proverbial kitchen sink at the gifted James Xia, sacrificing multiple pawns in a Closed Catalan in exchange for great piece activity, only for James to display the defensive resolve of a seasoned veteran before counter-attacking to ice the victory in an extremely complicated position. This game and several others from the tournament can be found at the Redcliffe Chess Club website. (https://redcliffechessclub.com.au/games-norm-braybrooke-memorial-2025/) With this Board 3 victory, James progresses to outright third place on 4.5/6. Great work James!

The under-rated Tom Weber and Braeden Levy both won their games to move to 4/6, followed by a pack of players on 3.5/6 and 3/6 proving that this is a highly-competitive tournament, with most games having no clear “favourite”; this is a sign of a strong club!

Thank you to everyone who has already paid their $20 adult entry fee OR $6 junior entry fee for players under 18 years of age!

If you still need to pay your entry fee, please Direct Deposit the Redcliffe Chess Club Inc’s Westpac Account using your surname as the reference:

Crosstable R5 of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial played on Wed night August 13

Please find attached the R5 crosstable of the 2025 RCC Norm Braybrooke Memorial played last night, Wednesday August 13.

On Board 1, Jai Turner kept his perfect score intact to move to 5/5 by virtue of an attacking victory over the rapidly-improving Tom Weber. Jai continues to play chess of an extremely high level and it is exciting to see him progress through the ranks of Australian chess; another homegrown product of the Redcliffe chess machine!

Board 2 featured a clash between the 2 top seeds in David Pando and David Beaumont, with David Pando prevailing in a long, complicated battle. David now moves to outright second place on 4/5, and with 2 rounds to go could still catch Jai; well done David!

The remaining boards exhibited more high quality chess with several games lasting long into the evening. James Xia, Greg Orme and Simon Yousafi now share 3rd place on 3.5/5 followed by a large group of players on 3/5 leaving many possibilities open going into the final two rounds.

Thank you to everyone who has already paid their $20 Adult entry fee OR $6 Junior Entry Fee for players under 18 years of age!

Please find attached the R4 crosstable of the 2025 RCC Norm Braybrooke Memorial played last night, Wednesday August 6.

Jai Turner remains the outright leader on 4/4 by dispatching an indecisive Rohan Pyne with black on Board 1. Jai is now a full point ahead of the peloton of players on 3/4 including David Pando, James Xia, Greg Orme, David Beaumont and Tom Weber. With 3 rounds to go and playing great chess, Jai will be very hard to catch however it is still too early to call! Another 3 and 15 players follow on 2.5/4 and 2/4 respectively, so the podium positions are still very much up for grabs!

Crosstable R3 of the 2025 Norm Braybrooke Memorial played on Wed night July 30

Please find attached the R3 crosstable of the 2025 RCC Norm Braybrooke Memorial played last night, Wednesday July 30.

Jai Turner continues his red-hot form of late to lead the tournament with a perfect 3/3 by besting the strong David Beaumont with the white pieces in another perennial encounter on Board 1. Well done Jai!

Just half a point behind Jai on 2.5/3, are Dylan Pu and Aaron Hamilton and, with another 12 players on 2/3, this is proving to be another very competitive tournament. The general quality of chess played has been of a high standard, with the cohort of experienced players having to work hard over the board to fight for an advantage over the tenacious and ever-improving group of younger talent; this is great to see!

Thank you to everyone who has already paid their $20 Adult entry fee OR $6 Junior Entry Fee for players under 18 years of age!
