OUR BIGGEST ROOKIES SHIELD
The June Rookies Shield 'King & Queen of the Mountain' Competition was the largest we have run with 53 entries. This included 8 adults who took on the juniors to try to win the 1st Place 'King' trophy.
But it was 11 year old Kyle Gibson who became King of the Mountain for 2009 on 6.5 out of 7, closely followed by 6 year old Ethan Lim on 6. 3rd place went to Manny Chua on 5.5. The Queen of the Mountain trophy was won by Denise Lim on 4 points and the Top Adult trophy went to Serif Tuglaci on 6 points.
The age group winners were Under 12 - Tiarn Cook Under 10 - Joseph Wong Under 8 - Suren Kapadia
The day was very successful, thanks to all the
kids who enjoyed the opportunity to play
competitive chess, and to all those parents
and friends who helped with the organising.
The trophies and prize money was presented to the winners by Luan Hanlon, Manager of Upwey Community Bendigo Bank. We are grateful to the Bank for becoming a generous sponsor of the five Rookies Shield competitions that we hold throughout the year.
The next Rookies Shield is on Sunday 30th August from 1pm to 4.30pm.

JUNIOR NOVICE CHAMPIONSHIP
FINAL RESULTS:
Over the past few Thursday nights we have played 13 rounds of 15 minute per player games. From this the 2009 Novice Junior Champion turned out to be Fidel Sanfilippo on 12, closely followed by Trent Monahan in 2nd place on 11 and Daniel Dolan came in 3rd on 9.5.
In the final game of the competition Ryan Wendleman won against 7 year old Jasmine Kelly so Ryan gained 4th place and won the Most Improved trophy. But there were a number who deserved to win this because of the improvement they too have shown in their games.
Here is the final scoreboard:
