Despite various players still out of town due to the Easter break, the 10 players that came to play in round 14 and 15 of the competition did make their mark. Both Ian and Wo Hang won both their games and as such Ian dethroned Jay from the top spot and Joshua from the 3rd place. Suneh also won twice and consolidated his 4th place while inching closer to the 3rd place. Let’s see what happens next week!
Rank after 15 Rounds
With 4 teams of 6 players we celebrated the pre-easter break on our 12 April Saturday chess meeting in Discovery Bay. The team with most points would go first to select some Easter goodies.

The 4 teams were divided such that all teams were of equal strength. The board 1 players would only play against board 1 players of the other team, board 2 against board 2 and so on.
Team A: Miguel Angel, Thomas, Kian, Noah, Ritvik, Koza
Team B: Bryant, Wo Hang, Maximilien, Joshua, Fiona, Louis
Team C: Chor Wei, Ian, Alex, James, Seth, Hop Hang
Team D: Mei Jing, Samira, Mia, Saga, Kaya, Gauri
Team D, the all-girls team captained by Mei Jing, ended 0.5 points higher than Team A, 1.5 points higher than Team B and 2 points higher than Team C.
Well done girls!
