Rapid Chess Crosstable after R3, Peninsula Open results + RIP NORM BRAYBROOKE
At the half way mark of the 2025 Redcliffe Chess Club Inc Rapid Chess Championship, we have just 2 players in the 30 player field on a perfect score of 3 out of – Tony Dowden and Jai Turner. They will meet each other in R4 this Wednesday night July 2. Another 11 players are just 1 point behind the co-leaders, and with 3 rounds to be played, anyone of them could still win the event!
See the attached crosstable to see the scores of all 30 players so far.
We had a record turn out of 22 Redcliffe Chess Club members take part in the just completed weekender, the 60th Peninsula Open, which was fantastic to see! Our players did our Club proud with some fantastic results in the 92 player field. Yes, the 92 player field! A big thank-you to our Club Secretary Max Kershaw too for being the arbiter up in J Block and for doing such an outstanding job up there too. Cheers Max!
Redcliffe’s David Beaumont did incredibly well to finish =1st on 5.5/6 with IM Brodie McClymont – and Brodies’s first Chess Club was Redcliffe Chess Club too! David won $750 for equal first plus the bonus $100 on offer for the best score by a Redcliffe player, so a grand total of $850! A hearty congratulations to David!
And just half a point behind Brodie and David was Jai Turner on 5/6! Jai was undefeated with 4 wins and 2 draws and he shared 3rd place with Jayden Ooi, Callum Gray and David Pando. Jai also won Rating Group A outright, to win a total of $262.50! Well done Jai!
And just another half a point back on 4.5/6 was Tony Dowden! Tony won the prize of $100 for best score by a Senior player 65 years of age or older! Another top result for our Club.
Thank you to all 22 Club Members for taking part – let’s see if we can break this record at our next Redcliffe Chess Club Week-Ender, the 2025 Leo Wilkinson Memorial, on Saturday September 27 and Sunday September 28.

R5 CROSSTABLE of 2025 VIV GREENELSH MEMORIAL DAVID BEAUMONT SOLE LEADER Last round Wed night 16/04/25
David Beaumont continues to lead the 2025 Viv Greenelsh Memorial with just one round to go this Wednesday night April 16. But with both Rohan Pyne and Nikola Maljkovic just half a point behind, a 3 way tie for first place is still possible!
On Wednesday week, April 23, we will have a $1 for all night with a one night only event, the 2025 Redcliffe Chess Club Lightning Championship played over 8 rounds with just 5 minutes each on the clock, no increment! This is the old fashioned way to play really quick chess and the no increment time control can be scary to play when you are clearly winning the game but have less time than your opponent.
We wish any members travelling to Canberra over Easter for the huge Doeberl Cup all the best of luck. We also wish Tony Weller a fun trip overseas for the next few weeks.
Don’t forget the 9 round and the 7 round Churchie Internationals are fast approaching – they will played over the Labour Day long weekend. See Chesschat for full details Or see the CAQ Website under Coming Events to print your own flyer if you wish: www.caq.org.au
Happy Easter one and all!
