Well we ended up with 24 keen chess players on a perfect Waikato day doing battle over the board. Daniel Gong shot out of the blocks winning 5 in a row and looked unstoppable. Max Ross, from Mercury Bay, pegged him back in round 6 and so he looked a potential winner. He in turn lost to Lillian Dare in the last round, so Lillian and Daniel shared the top honours on the day. The day was played in great spirits and good humour. Other age prizes are listed in the cross table below. All up, 12 people came away with some prize money – a 50% score.
The next Rookies Shield is on the June 24.
