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 .
