Sasha Cells National Junior Chess C/ship…Haifeng Su on course to retain title; Davion Mars in hot pursuit

Oct 20, 2012 Sports

 

Defending Junior Chess Champion, Haifeng Su, has amassed 31/2 points, just a ½ point more than Davion Mars and stays on course to retain his crown when the 4th round of the Sasha Cells 2012 National Junior Chess Championship concluded at the Olympic House, Kingston over the past weekend.
Davion Mars and Anthony Drayton have both amassed 3 points apiece but the former player sealed off the third place after the tiebreaker system had been employed. Saeed Ali is on 2½ points while Carlos Petterson is on 2.
Former Junior Champion, Ron Motilall has scored just 1 point the same as Trenton Bennett. Dravin Drickpaul is yet to register a point and remains in the cellar.
The players will convene this morning at the same venue to contest two more rounds while the final round will be played tomorrow morning, this time at Keishar’s Sports Club, Hadfield Street, Georgetown.
Meanwhile, Haifeng Su exhibited a high level of determination and survived strong challenges from Drayton and Motilall after he forced both players to resign when the 4th round concluded. Motilall’s forces became casualties in a lost endgame while Drayton, who recently returned from competing in Umada Cup tournament, failed to avoid a heavy loss of material and extricate himself from a hopeless position. His sojourn in the Dutch speaking nation was successful after he won the best U-17 trophy and a US $700 prize.
