In the hotly contested U11 section, Rose Burgess pulled out an impressive 4\/6 drawing two of the strongest players in very intense matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the U18 section, Sebastian Merchant, Samuel Merchant and Luke Chapman were battling it out. Sebastian Merchant, going into the final round on 3.5\/5, was paired against a very tough opponent. The two fought it out for over an hour. Sebastian, who played some fascinating chess, after the tough six rounds, landed on 3.5\/6. His brother, Sam, playing excellent chess all day, had a huge score of 4\/5 going into the final round. Subsequently, Sam was paired against the highest seed who out-rated him by 400 points. He ended his day on a brilliant 4\/6 with only one loss.<br>Finally, Luke Chapman, playing dubious, attacking chess all day, had the luck of the devil in the last round when his opponent hung a rook; he finished on 4.5\/6, coming joint 3rd (4th on tie-break).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done to all of our rapidly progressing juniors and a big thank you to our supportive parents.
