CASTLEHILL JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2020-21 – The finale!
CASTLEHILL JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2020-21
Mon 12th April 21 – 6pm
Congratulations to Rishi Vijayakumar J9 on defending his title and being crowned Castlehill Junior Club Champion 2020-21! Well deserved, but it was close as Rishi finished on 9 points, only one point ahead of Ramit Kanodia J13! Josh Dickson J10 was in third place on 4½ points. I suppose the surprise was Rishi actually dropping a point! He is a worthy champion and someone who will win titles at the higher level as well if he keeps his interest and enthusiasm for chess!
Round 5 (last)
Josh Dickson J10 has come on a lot since joining us this year, but Rishi is just a class act for his age and showed why he is now the champion again after winning both the games!
Ramit also won both his games against Haoqi and even got away with putting his queen on a square threatening checkmate, only for Haoqi to miss the fact he could take it with his bishop for nothing, twice!
The performance of the night went to Noah Dickson J8 who beat Alexander Barron-Majerik J9 twice catching Alexander off guard with two back rank mates! Oh dear Alexander, once maybe, twice no, no!
Josh better watch his back as Noah is improving fast!
Castlehill Chess Club Dundee is a lucky club to have so many talented and promising juniors! The future of our club is in safe hands!
