National Junior Chess champion in rigid defence of title
National junior chess champion Hai Feng Su exhibited determination last weekend to defend his title when he defeated two main challengers in the SASHA CELLS 2012 National Junior Chess Championship at Olympic House, Kingston. The first to fall was Anthony Drayton followed by former junior champion Ron Motilall. Both players were forced to resign to the reigning junior champion.

Motilall’s forces became casualties in a lost endgame, while Drayton was unable to avoid a heavy loss of material and extricate himself from a hopeless position.
He recently returned from Suriname representing Guyana at the Umada Cup tournament and won the best Under-17 trophy and a US$700 prize.
The points standings after three rounds read: Hai Feng Su three, Davion Mars, Saeed Ali, Anthony Drayton and Carlos Petterson two each. Ron Motilall is the only player on one, while two other players Dravin Drickpaul and Trenton Bennett are yet to score. Play resumes today at Olympic House, Kingston from 17:00hrs.
