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..

There will be a special SA Girls Championship this year, held in the Term 1 holiday at the same time as the City of Adelaide Championship.

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:

The Zoom Link on the 22nd, 23rd & 24th April: Meeting ID: 894 8693 4410 Password: 068495

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!!

One Day Under 11

The players who nominated for just one day or or could not turn up for the new final day were all considered to have just played a one-day tournament and in that case:

Equal first: Pink Fang and Ian Liu, 3rd Jackson Chen.

October 25 Tournament

This tournament was also interrupted but had many of our best 11 year olds and older battling it out using a time limit of 25 minutes /game + 10sec increment.

Congratulations to 1st Lachlyn Vuong, 2nd Anthony Commisso and 3rd Caleb Tang.

Again, there were quite a few players missing and so they were treated as if they had played just a one-day tournament

One-Day October 25: Equal 1st Sebastian Lee and Yifan Wu; 3rd Oscar Welling.

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.

Thursday July 18th and Friday July 19th – 9 :30AM Start

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.

Entry for a one-day event is $15.

Lunches will be around 12 noon and Pizza can be ordered each day for $5.

 2019 SA Under 12  Championship

This was a fabulous event, boosted by many youngsters choosing to play up in a tournament with the longer time limit (25 mins +10 sec inc) rather than take part in the July Junior with the 15 minute time limit for each player. Jayden Yue was outright first in an impressive display but he had several scares against the younger brigade.

Final Results:

State Under 12 Championship: 1st Jayden Yue, 2nd: Denis Ivanov; Equal 3rd: Gabriel Harding & Sze-Siong Koh-Buckland.

As is usual with this event, we award prizes for the best Under 11s in the event but this was not for the State U11 titles – that event takes place in the next holidays. But nonetheless, it was brilliant to see a hoard of very young players performing so brilliantly!

Under 11 Section: Equal first: Pink Fang, Dewmi Liyanage, Connor Caruso and Amelia Cirami.

The Under 15 Section: 1st Ethan Liu; equal 2nd Raad Rahman, Jake Steele and Jordan Lewis.
The Under 13 Section: Equal 1st: Oliver Fenton and Alistair Maria; =3rd: Caleb Tang and Dimandiw Kosgallana.

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. 

Entry for a one-day event is $15. 

Lunches will be around 12:30pm and Pizza can be ordered each day for $5. 

Results

The July Tournament was played as two separate events and the scores of the players from both events were combined to produce the winners. Most players ended up playing 16 games over the 2 days. And although it was for 10 year olds and younger, this was NOT the State Under 11 Championship – that will be next holidays.
