Junior Club - 2012 competition round 1

The junior competition made an exciting return this week.  We had eleven children at the club, all of them seemed  up for a competitive game.  The rules were made clear.

• Touch a piece and you move it!  
• Three points for a win
• two for a draw 
• one for a loss.  

There will be five rounds the player with the most points wins the trophy for a year.

Last year's winner was AJ who played Caroline and claimed the full point conclusively.

Both the Wilson boys won their games Dylan defeating Tom while Harry proved too strong for Jamie.

The clubs rising star is Joe who sailed to victory over tenacious James, who is no walk over.

The longest game was Aidan V Leia.  Aidan managed to find a checkmate on the stoke of seven O' clock.  If the game had not finished I would have counted the material and if one side was ahead by more than three points they would win.

The names were picked at random and unfortunately Nicola didn't have a game, but received a full three point bye.

After one round the standings are:

Name	Score
Aidan	3
AJ	3
Dylan	3
Harry	3
Joe	3
Nicola	3
Caroline	1
James	1
Jamie	1
Leia	1
Tom	1
