Luen-Wah Luk Hong Kong Champion 2013

June 20th, 2013

After 11 Mondays in the Hong Kong Finals (22 April – 17 June) FM Luen-Wah Luk is formally crowned as the new 2013 Champion of Hong Kong.  And convincingly, if we look at the final ranking: Leun-Wah with 8 points even played a game less than Hong Ki Tsang (last year’s winner) who with 7.5 points ended on the 2nd place this year.

Places 3 through 6 stayed close and on 7th and 8th place the youngster Jake Chan and even younger youngster Michael Yang can be satisfied with their 3.5 points in this top 11 of Hong Kong’s best.

Junior Rapid Chess Tournament Sunday 21 April

April 23rd, 2013

The German-Swiss School was host to a very well HKCF organized event on Sunday 21 April that attracted over 100 children of whom some 50 played in the Under 10 age group.

 

 

Congratulations to Michael Yang who could play in the Under 13 age group but played in and won first prize in Under 18 (9 players). Also congratulations to Benjamin Oh who won the Under 13 (20 players). Both players are well known at Caissa and performed very well in earlier Caissa organized events, like the Hong Kong – Macao Pearl Delta Cup.

The Under 10 age group was won by Ho Pang Huang, a strong player residing in Shenzhen, just ahead of local talent James Kwong who ended second on tie-break. Caissa’s Miguel Angel Garceran Wang ended 5th.

Congratulations, finally, to Harold Kwong who won the Under 7 age group (15 players) with 7 points out of 7: a worthy National Champion. Caissa’s Mei Jing Garceran Wang ended as first girl in this age group on the 5th place.
