English Primary School Rapid Play Championships
- Peter Purland
This annual event was held at Broadgreen School, Liverpool and attracted 235 players. The Open Section had players from all over England although the other sections were almost exclusively north west based. It was pleasing to see players from Kent, Berkshire, Lincolnshire and most counties in between attending whilst we had a first this year – a player from Gibraltar who are part of the ECF. This must rank as our most far flung player ever. The lure of half norms for the trial does tempt people to travel across the country for the event and 27 were successful in their quest.
The prizes were well shared out this year with every area entering 6 or more players getting at least one prize. There had to be a new name on the trophy this year( all those on are too old) and this was done in style. Gorak Rajesh from Essex scoring 100 %. Daniel Abbas from Manchester drew in round three and thus never got a chance to play Gorak and finished second half a point behind. Marcus Lazenby( Liverpool), Jake Liang( Surrey) Johann Power( Cheshire) and Stephen Whatley( Gibraltar) were a further point behind.
The U10A section was won by Ibrahim Malik( Birmingham) with a perfect score whilst Ethan Hill( Rydal) was second a point behind. The U9A was won by Samir Samadav( Lancashire) with 5½ followed by Jack Nolan( Cheshire) on 5 whilst the U8s was shared by Arjun Bolina( Rydal), Pacey Gwynne( Rydal) and Nugith Jayawarna( Tameside). The three B sections were won by James Alsop( Yorkshire), Sean Spiers( Tameside), Sean Walker Wirral( U11), Alex Holland( Liverpool), Robert McLean( Oldham), Andrew Redmond( Tameside), Kyle Tyndall( Oldham)( U10) and Sharon Daniel( Manchester)( U9).
These sections prove an excellent training ground for the lower boards of association teams and are just as fiercely contested as any other. Next years event will be on January 14th at Broadgreen.
