Individual Tournaments

Tournaments & School Matches 2023

Please find below the tentative dates for this year’s junior chess events – these could all change depending on whatever happens with Covid and the World.

Everyone very welcome – we have a big year planned, including running the Australian Junior Championships next January  – all hands on deck!!

A player’s age will be his/her age at the start of an SA Junior tournament, not at the the first of January. This is the policy of the NSW Junior League and for most juniors it will make sense. Players wishing to play in National events just need to bear in mind that those events use the age you are at the first of January.

The tournaments are either run by the SA Junior Chess League or the SA Chess Association Inc.

Please check the following websites before the event and then use the link on the website to register:

www.sajuniorchess.org

www.sachess.org.au 

The bookings for all the events will be through the TryBooking system and that way we can notify the participants of any changes. However, players and participants will generally still be accepted if they turn up on the day of the event.

The Tournaments are held on the last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the second week of the holidays.  

The Girls Only Tournaments are generally held on the Wednesdays of the second week of each term break with the tournament in July being considered the State Girls titles. The Girls Only Day in April will be on Wednesday 26th April.

Junior Tournaments:

The City of Adelaide Championships took place at the Chess Centre from the 19th – 21st April and attracted about 100 students overall – it was great fun and very busy! The numbers were amazing and reflects the huge interest there is in chess at the moment.

The City of Adelaide Under 21 Championship was won by Ethan Retnaraja with 5.5/6 ahead of Alistair Maria on 4.5 and tying for third were Tim Gibbons and Charles Newbold on 4. The scoretable is given below and remember when you look at the pairings and results, the first number is with 1 for a win, 0 for a loss or 1/2 for a draw.

Events played in 2022

We had over 85 juniors competing in the 2022 October Junior events and a further 33 in the Girls Only events on the Tuesday – it was all very hectic and busy and great fun. The highlight though for the younger players was the visit by the team from the ABC’s Behind The News on the Thursday to record a chess event and the kids loved it! Jack Evans, one of the stars of the show played a whole crowd of kids at once despite not really knowing much about the rules but the chant of ‘Take the Rook!’ etc by 20 onlookers was hilarious.

The 2022 State Junior Championships took place over the last 4 days of the July holidays and there were lots of events contested- everything except the Under 11, 10, 9 and 8 Championships which will be held in the October holidays. 

The standard of all the Championships was very impressive – many beautiful games and many well fought and thought – very few easy victories but many long battles often decided in the last minutes of the time control.

The State Junior Championship – the Under 18 –  was won very impressively by Max Pritchard with 6 points out of 7 games – he lost his last game to Tharan Balachander though by that stage he had already won the event. Second was Ethan Retnaraja and finishing equal third were Tharan Balachander and Timothy Gibbons.

The State Girls Championships were played on the Girls Only Day, which is held on the last Tuesday of each school holiday and is sponsored by the Evelyn Koshnitsky Trust. 

The State Girls Under 18 Championship ended in a tie for first between Athena-Malar Retnaraja and Aishwarya Srikanth, 3rd: Dewmi Liyanage.

The State Under 16 Championship was another victory by Athena-Malar Retnaraja. Second was Danny Yang; third: Caleb Tang.

The State Under 15 Championship ended in a tie for first between Jamie Charters and Joshua Joshi; third: Andrew Xu.

The Under 14 Championship was won by Ilya Eimery; second was Gabriel Lavrentiadis; third: Anesh Saravanan.

The Under 13 Championship was won by Keshav Balachander; second was Charles Tang; third: Dewmi Liyanage

The Under 12 Championship was won by Manav Karthikeyan; second was Sharvi Kamble; third: Oliver Cirami.  And with about half the field being 10 or younger, some special prizes were awarded to these – however, the actual State Under 11 and younger Championships do not take place until October. Therefore, in the Under 11 section: Equal first Connor Caruso and Kavish Nagpal; equal third: Shlok Shah, Jude Errington and Pradyun Parikh.

The State Under 12 Girls Championship was a tie for first between Miroslava Baryshnikova and Cindy Chen; third: Charlotte Chen.

The July Junior consisted of 3 events over 3 days with the overall winner being the player who scored those most points from these events. 

The Winner of the Wednesday Competition was Ashmit Dileesh, and 4 players finished equal second:  Hriday Vaghela, Joshua Sam, Abel Koottungal and Max Chen.

The Winner of the Thursday Competition was Abel Koottungal with in equal second: Joshua Sam, Nicky Wang and Ashmit Dileesh

The Winner of the Friday Competition was Ashmit Dileesh, with Nicky Wang second; third was Abel Kooungal.

When compiling the results over the 3 days, the overall results for the July Junior were:

The 2022 City Of Adelaide Junior Championships

(Arbiter/Club : unregistered)

The 2022 City of Adelaide Championships took place between the 27th April and the 29th April 2022. The City of Adelaide Under 21 Championship was played at the Classical time-rate of 1 hour +10 sec increment and had 6 rounds, just 2 games a day. It ended in a win for Tharan Balachander, with Ethan Retnaraja finishing second and Alistair Maria third. A high quality tournament with many good games.

The City of Adelaide Under 15 Championship had 4 games per day (25 minutes each + 10 sec increment) and had 12 rounds. Again a very strong tournament with 20 players and it ended in a tie for first between Jamie Charters and Athena-Malar Retnaraja, with Lachlyn Vuong coming third. The Under 14 Section of the tournament was won by Jackson Chen, ahead of Keshav Balachander and third Isaac Schiavone.

The Under 12 Championship also had 4 games per day but with only 16 players, the pairing program could only calculate 11 rounds, which was pretty remarkable anyway. The winner was Manav Karthikeyan, ahead of Clynton Vuong, second, and Campbell Thompson third. The Under 11 Section was won by Oliver Cirami, ahead of Connor Caruso, second, and Quan Nam Tran third.

The City of Adelaide Under 10 Championship was decided by the winner of the most points over 3 separate tournaments, played on consecutive days. The players did not need to take part in all 3 events but a big majority did and the competition was fierce! The overall winner with the most points was Miroslava Baryshnikova who amassed 17 points, second was Anesh Saravanan with 16.5 and third Ashmit Dileesh with 15.5. The Under 9 section ended in a tie for first between Shlok Shah and Pradyun Parikh with Sharvi Kamble coming third. The Under 8 Section was won by Jude Errington, ahead of Hriday Vaghela and third Andrew Wang.

The complete scoretables are listed below – and you should be able to scroll to the right to see all the rounds if necessary. The first number in result for the round is either a 1 or 0 or 1/2 – a win, loss or draw and so Tharan for example in round 5 scored a win against opponent number 6. The way the tie break works is that BucT is the total score of the players’ opponents, while Buc1 is the mean of the opponents’ score.

Tournaments held in 2021

There were 6 tournaments held by the SAJCL during the 2021 Term 3 School holidays – two on the Girls Only Day and four over the following Wednesday through Friday. The October 60 event was for players Under 21 and had a slow time rate of 60 minutes + 30 second Increment and will be sent for both an ACF and FIDE rating. The October 25 tournament had a time rate of 25 minutes + 10 sec increment and was for juniors over 10 who wanted a quicker time rate. The Under 11/ 10 Championship had the same time limit while the Under 9/8/7 Championship involved 3 separate tournaments – one on each day – and the overall winner was the player who scored the most points.

The details of the Girls Tournaments will be posted here shortly but here are the cross tables for all the other events:

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Ethan on winning this very strong event with a perfect score. Jakob and Andreas were also very impressive.

2021 U21 Oct 25

This event was supposed to go for 12 rounds but because there were only 12 players this was impossible and so it ended up being a 9 round event with a quick Allegro on the last day to keep everyone amused. Yifan Yin was very impressive and led the whole way and lost only one game and that was to Anthony Commisso. Jamie Charters kept the pressure up the entire time, while Andrew Xu and Lachlyn Vuong tied for third. The winner of the Under 13 group was Joshua Joshi, second Oscar Ayres and third Isaac Schiavone.

Cross Table at round 9 (to read the table, the first digit each round is the result – 1 for win, 0 for loss, and the rest is the opponent’s number)

This was a fabulous event with the players battling it out over 3 days and playing 12 games. Keshav Balachander and Clynton Vuong tied for first and Clinton was awarded the Under 11 Championship title and Keshav the Under 10 Championship title. Equal second in the Under 11 were Amelia Cirami and Sophie Cerny, while second in the Under 10 was Dewmi Liyanage and third Connor Caruso. The awarding of prizes for mixed age events is always tricky but we went by different age groups.

This event took place on Thursday 30th June 2021 and was attended by students who were already on holiday – the week before the normal public school holidays. It was great fun and congratulations to Lachlyn on winning 9/9 – the following table looks strange – just testing using a Mac version of Vega – but the the first number in the round results is the score and the subsequent, the number of the opponent eg Lachlyn in round scored 1 against no. 4

Update on the State Junior Championships taking place in the July School Holidays – Thursday 15th July 8:30pm.

Unfortunately, due to the announced Covid restrictions, only the State Junior Championships will continue on the Friday – the July Junior Tournament planned for Friday will be abandoned. We will therefore have only 3 events running tomorrow – the State Under 18/16, the State Under 15/14/13 and the State U12 Championships.

We have held two of the three July Junior events over the past two days and each time it has been completed successfully with about 30 students in each. Reducing the number of students at the Chess Centre on Friday by this number will make it much safer for everyone.

Here are the current standings of the various state Championships and the final standings for the two completed July Junior events:

Events for 2021

Please note that the age for students entering an event relates to the age they are on the 1st January 2021

Very sorry – this has changed from what was advertised here previously – but came about following a discussion at the recent AGM

All the serious Junior Events will be run over 3 days this year, to reflect the growing strength of the players and the increase in interest by youngsters in the game. They will take place generally on the last 3 days of each school holiday, though in Term 1, it will be the first week for the State schools..

2021 SA Under 18 – U13 Championships – FIDE Rated

These Championships will be played as 2 events but may be expanded depending on entries:

2021 SA Under 18 & 16 Championship – combined – 60 mins +10spm

2021 SA Under 15, 14 & 13 Championships – combined – 60 mins +10spm

Played over the LAST Wednesday, Thursday & Friday of the school holidays

Wednesday, 14th July, Thursday July 15th & Friday July 16th 2021

9:30 AM Start – lunch 12 noon, then 12:30-5:30pm

Played at the Chess Centre, 10 Ranelagh St Adelaide 5000


BIG NEWS!!!! These events will be FIDE rated – your name will appear on the FIDE International rating list!!

Events for 2020

2020 SA Under 18 & 16 Championship – combined – 60 mins +10spm 2020

 

State Under 18 Championship:

A big congratulations to George Bartley on winning this year’s State Junior Championship. Played over-the-board at the Chess Centre the numbers were naturally down since notices about the tournament were late in coming out as there was uncertainty about how the events  would actually take place. George played well to win the event without dropping a point.

1st George Bartley; 2nd Christiaan Viljoen.

State Under 16 Championship:

And congratulations on another strong performance by Ethan Retnaraja, only losing to George Bartley.

1st: Ethan Retnaraja, 2nd Ben Stevens.

The City of Adelaide Junior

The SAJCL and SACA and others had many plans for tournaments in 2020 but unfortunately these are all in disarray due to the Corona virus and because of social distancing, the Chess Centre is closed for the foreseeable future. However chess players are resilient and so we plan to try to do as many chess events as possible through the Internet, and that means running the City Of Adelaide Junior Championships through the Internet using LiChess and the Inter-school Matches using LiChess and Chesskid.com.

Here are the details about the City of Adelaide Junior – Internet!!

2020 City of Adelaide Junior Internet Championships

Under 21 – Wednesday 22nd, 23rd & 24th APRIL 2020 10AM – 4:30PM

U12 & U10 – Thursday 23rd & Friday 24th April 2020  10AM – 3:30PM

The City of Adelaide is open to all players Under 21 – it has a long tradition! – but in 2020 will be played via the Internet. There are three tournaments: an Under 21 tournament as well as an Under 12 and an Under 10 tournament. The Under 21 will be run over 3 Days, while the Under 12 and Under 10 will run for just 2 days, the Thursday and Friday before Anzac Day. The playersʼ ages are those at the 1st of January. 

We will be using a Program called Tornelo!!!!

We were recommending a website called LiChess.org and it is fabulous, but not really designed to run online tournaments. Students will need to go to tornelo.com and register for the tournament – it is easy – and instructions are available on the sajuniorchess.org website. They then simply logon to the website using the following links on the appropriate day.

The Tornelo links for the 2020 City of Adelaide Junior Championships:

Entry Fee $20 which you pay online when you register online

Questions? ring or text Alan Goldsmith on 0401 67 2481 or 08 83534008

Lunches will be at your house, around 12:30pm and can be picked from your Fridge!

And if life gets back to normal, some of the following events may take place over the board!

At the moment, it looks like chess may be the only sport played by schools this year!

Most junior events, like the State Junior Championships, are run in the second week of each of the school holidays,  and the players’ ages are determined by the simple rule – if the event is in the first half of the year – their age is that as of the 1st of January, otherwise, if the event is in the second half of the year, it is their age as of the 1st of July.

The events being run by SACA – the SA Chess Association, are held either over special long weekends or on Tuesday evenings – and while youngsters are encouraged to play in these events, they need to have either done some serious study or had coaching and know how to record their moves.


The SA Chess Association is subsidising any juniors taking part in their competitions by 50% – so they pay just half fees – fabulous!!

The October 60 Tournament

This event was severely depleted after just the two rounds on the first day but the final result was:

1st: Ethan Retnaraja, 2nd Hamish Pattison, 3rd Theran Balachander

The December 16 tournament

This was a small tournament run just on the 16th December

1st: Timothy Gibbons, 2nd Jackson Clark 3rd Elina Eimery, 4th Arshnoor Singh.

2019 Wrap-Up Tournament

This tournament was held on the second-to-last Friday of Fourth Term and we were delighted to see over 50 players take part. It was particularly pleasing to see the enthusiastic crowd from our new school and potential venue for next year Pennington PS, inspired by Julz Jansen and the new players from Immanuel College. And of course, a big thanks to Mitcham PS for such fabulous support.

It was also very pleasing to see that the top 3 places were taken by girls and congratulations to Elina and Dewmi for tying for first.

July Junior Tournament (under 11) – 15 mins each

The July Junior Tournament is for players aged 10 and under and is just great fun and all juniors are encouraged to have a try – you simply need to know how the pieces move and then you start learning ideas instantly. It starts at 9:30AM and finishes at 3PM daily.

Special one-day tournaments will be organised for those who can play for just one day.

Schedule: July Junior:

8 games daily: 9.30 am, 10.30 am, 11.00 am 11.30am and 1pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.00pm – 15 minutes per player for the whole game.

The July Junior: 1st prize: $40

Entry Fee – $35 which covers both days but a $5 discount applies if you register through the web site www.sajuniorchess.org or ring or SMS Alan Goldsmith on 0401 67 2481 or email alang@knightsandbytes.com.au before Wednesday 19th July 2017. You can enter on the Thursday but must do so at 9 am.
