Six of the top Somerset players took part: Byron Morris (5/7), Ben Atia 4, Eason Wang 3.5, Anson Qu 3, Sophia Ahern 2.5 and Raff Atia 2. Byron had one of his best achievements yet, finishing = fourth in the whole tournament, and notching up several upsets against players rated above him.
At the Gold Coast Junior Championship last weekend, we had a smaller turnout from Somerset, as many of our Senior School students were busy studying for exams. Anson Qu had a great result, with 5.5/7 and third in the whole event. Anson thus won the title of Gold Coast Under 14 Champion! Eason Wang finished on 4.5 and won the second Under 18 trophy. In the Under 8's, Calen Tang finished in third place with 5.5/8. Also doing well were Alessandro Martinese 4.5, Elijah Hadikusumo 4 and Harrison Qu 4.
