Richmond Junior Congress, 7 November 2004

Part of the reason why the entrants had been so low at the Rapidplay the previous week was because a lot of the 139 entrants for this tournament were obviously saving themselves for this one!

The Under 18s was quite a small section, jointly won by Thilagini Anandajeyarajah and Nick Inglis, both on 4.5 out of 6.

Onto the Under 12s which was more hotly contested with 37 players battling it out for 4.5 out of 6 and a place in the LJCC U12 Major section, which is an England Trial Qualifier. This accounted for the strong field, which was Akash Jain and James McCallion pull ahead of the rest to jointly win the tournament on 5.5 out of 6. Elliott Auckland and Daniel Chan came joint third and gained those precious Major places on 4.5 points. Many more players earned places in the Under 12 Minor with scores of 3.5 or 4 points.

The Under 10s was the biggest section of the day, with a massive 61 participants. Again a score of 4.5 points or above would see the child qualify for the Major section, and scores of 4 and 3.5 would get them into the minor. The tournament was jointly won by Joseph Quinn and Milo Thrumble on 5.5/6. Congratulations also to Tom Ball, Holly Carter, Christopher Dunne, Benedict Tso, Edmund Harding and William Rule who also qualified for the Major. Far too many people to mention all the Minor qualifiers, but congratulations to them also.

The players in the Under 8s needed to get 4 points to qualify for the finals, as there is only one section in the finals in the Under 8s. Kabir Peshawaria whitewashed the tournament with a 100% score. Congratulations also to Charlie Parmiter, Jonathan Bell, Max Wood-Robinson, Rustam Byramji, Lars Heidrich, Louis Isaacson and Jake Spencer who all qualified for the LJCC Finals.
