Tuesday morning Update:
In the Rapid Chess Competition (20 minutes per player) held
yesterday Denise scored 2 out of 6 and Ethan 3 out of 6. This is a
creditable result considering some of their opponents were 18 years
old! Well done, Guys!
Today the Championship resumes. Denise, with a score of 2 out of 2,
faces her third round opponent, and Ethan, on 2 out of 4, plays his
fifth round opponent.
We wish them good games!
Monday morning Update:
After 4 rounds of the 11 round Swiss Under 12 Open competition
Ethan is performing well with two wins and two losses. He won his
first and fourth round games. His sister Denise won her first two
games in the 9 round Under 12 Girls competition.
Today (Monday) there will not be any rounds played because of the
one day Rapid Chess competition being held. Our two tough little
Ranges competitors have also entered this competition so we will
keep you posted on how they get on.
Below is the win by Denise in the second round and by Ethan in the
fourth round.

Sunday morning Update:
Ranges Juniors, Denise and Ethan Lim, have got off to a solid start
after two rounds of the Lidums National Junior Championships being
held in Adelaide right now.
Denise who is 8 years old won both of her first two games in the
Under 12 Girls competition. This is a 'Round Robin' contest
consisting of 9 rounds. 6 year old Ethan won his first game in 13
moves against a boy who represented Australia overseas last year
as a member of the Junior Olympiad team. Ethan found the going
harder against fellow Victorian Kyle Gibson (from Croydon Chess)
and lost after a tough game.
The U12 Boys will play two rounds today (Sunday).
WATCH THIS SPACE for daily updates.
This is the first time Ethan and Denise have played in such a high
level tournament which has a time limit of 60 minutes plus 60
seconds. They are unknown to their competitors, are unrated,
and are playing against mainly older and more experienced
competitors.
Let's all get behind them and wish them more success!
Below are their first round games copied from the SA Chess
Association website.
