2022 SCL Northern Online Zone
On Sunday, 20th March the first 2022 School Chess League (SCL) tournament was held Online using lichess an internet chess server. This event was sponsored by Warwick Psychological Services. There were two separate tournaments catering for both the Primary and Secondary schools. A total of 76 players took part.
This was the first Online tournament for the Schools Chess League in Western Australia. It involved the following: -
i) A trial run two days before the tournament.
ii) A lot of work in setting up on the morning of the tournament. Each player had to set up a front and side camera.
iii) Primary and Secondary students were split up into two separate breakout rooms. The players were supervised on Zoom with each player participating from home.
iv) The players were supervised by nine arbiters, three of which were from Malaysia.
The two tournaments went well with several parents staying behind at the end of the tournament and providing positive feedback on zoom.
This was a learning experience for all players, parents and supervisors. It turned out to be a valuable and successful one. The Chess Association of WA are prepared to hold future SCL tournaments Online. A provisional date for the next SCL online tournament has been set as Sunday, 1st May.

The 37 players were from 21 different schools. It was a very closely contested tournament from both a school and individual player perspective. Two schools fought it out for the first place with Oberthur Primary School (last year's Primary School winners) narrowly beating Carmel Primary School by half a point. Newcomers Kingsway Christian College came third. Several schools have the potential to be in the top three placings if they had fielded a full team or four players rather than just one or two players.
The individual contest was equally close. At the start of the last round there were four players leading on 5 points. Angus Chen, Anthony Nguyen, Kobe Wu, and Bruce Yu. Angus and Kobe drew and Anthony beat Bruce, leaving Anthony the outright winner. Kobe was the Best Girl competitor.
As well as Kobe there were several strong performances from the following girls, Mia Cohen (Carmel PS), Nithuli Liyange (Nedlands PS) and Mia Smit and Charis Ong both girls from Kingsway Christian College. The results of the latter two helped their school secure third place.
List of School Prize Winners:
1st: Oberthur Primary School - Angus Chen, Leo Gong, Avan Chung, Phong Duc (Ford) Cu & Jonathan Liu (the first four players as the best school performers receive trophies)

The 39 players were from 16 different schools. Perth Modern School (last year's Secondary School winners) fielded 12 players and came first. Very close behind them were Rossmoyne Senior High School with a team of only three players. Third was Wesley College, also with only three players. The placings are decided by adding the scores of the top four players. Hence if Rossmoyne and Wesley had fielded a full complement of four players, they may have enhanced their position in this tournament. The same point is applicable to Shenton College, Christchurch Grammar School and Bob Hawke College who finished 4th to 6th respectively, each school had only two players.
The individual contest was dominated by Yihe Fu (Rebo) who obtained a perfect score of 7 from 7. Not too far behind Rebo was Oscar Gao and Jin Yu Lim both on 6 from 7. Oscar secured 2nd place with a superior Buchholz score to Jin. The Best Girl competitor was Celine Ong with 5 from 7. Newcomers Aten Sulak, Gijoon Han and Windson Tang all did well to gain 5 from 7. As well as SCL veterans Iker Hernandez Mendez and Shannon Koh.

The Chess Association of WA decided to run this tournament on the basis "nothing ventured nothing gained". We were fortunate to have an excellent team working together. Special thanks to the following people:
* Our Malaysian arbiters: Lim Poay Sim, Saiful Asyraf & David Lee (based in Penang) whose experience with setting up Online tournaments gave us the confidence to run this event. Tan Eng Seong also helped with the initial organisation but was unable to participate as an arbiter as he contacted Covid just prior to the tournament. We wish him a speedy recovery.
* Junior Vice-President Faith Tee who heard about this Malaysian group and contacted them to discuss their assistance and involvement. Faith also did most of the work in contacting the various Perth schools prior to the tournament; secured a sponsor for the tournament and ordered the trophies plus acted as an Arbiter during the tournament.
* Senior Vice-President Andrew Hardegen who provided detailed instructions to players for setting up the tournament, was one of the key figures in helping to set up the equipment for the tournament and acted as one of the principal tournament arbiters with Lim Poay Sim.
* Perth Arbiters: Sri Krishna Dharmapuri, Dylan Gough, Kruhuru Sailaga & Alan Wolstencroft.
* Our sponsor: Warwick Psychological Services.

There were 43 players from 22 schools. It developed in to a closely contested fight between Caladenia Primary School and Oberthur Primary School. In the end Oberthur won by a solitary point, (the announcement made at the presentations on Sunday was incorrect as it did not include a win by one of the Oberthur players). Caladenia came second a very good performance for what is a relative newcomer to the SCL. Midland Home school with three players came third and Nedlands Primary School was fourth with just two players.
The individual contest was also close. Going into the last round Liam Raptis and Dominic Davoll were leading with 5.5 points followed by Leo Gong, Anthony Nguyen and Sebastian Walker on 5 points. Liam beat Sebastian, Dominic lost to Leo and Anthony beat Charis Ong. Hence Liam was the outright winner on 6.5 points, Anthony was second on 6 points (Buchholz score) and Leo was third on 6 points. Good performance by Nithuli Liyange who won the Best Girl title with 5 points.

The Primary school section saw a huge contingent, with 72 players from 19 different schools. Our highest turnout ever and a testament to the increasing popularity of chess in our Primary schools.
The extended playing numbers did not change the closeness of the event with several teams closely vying for the title. But in the end the final results were very tight with Mt Lawley Primary School and Lake Joondalup Baptist College tying for third on 18 points, (Mt Lawley gained 3rd place on a team count back). Second place was again taken by Caladenia Primary School with a great score of 20 points. It was only in the last round that they were overtaken by Nedlands Primary School, who took the lead and title by half a point on 20.5. Strong performances by Oberthur Primary School, Rostrata Primary School and Wesley College were not quite enough to get them in the top four spots.
Well done to all players on the day.
The individual results also displayed close results with Nedlands player Issa Majidi (Nedlands PS) having a great day with a perfect picket fence score of 7 out of 7, closely followed by Yonal De Vas 2nd (Caladenia PS) on 6, Eric Deng (Lake Joondalup) 3rd also on 6. A strong performance by Senudi De Vas (Caladenia PS) saw her win the Best girl award with 5/7 just ahead of Nithuli Liyange (Nedlands PS) on the same score but with a lower Buchholz score. Merit awards went to: - Hardy Dai (Rostrata PS) 5.5, Liam Raptis (Midland Home School) 5.5, Senudi De Vas, (Caladenia PS), Akash Ashok, (Wesley College), Leo Gong, (Oberthur PS), Nithuli Liyanage, (Nedlands PS), Chenuthi Bandara, (Willetton PS), Hamish Atkinson, (Mt.

Despite the absence of some strong players who were playing in the State Championships being held at the same time, the Secondary school line-up still presented us with some strong games and some great chess.
There were 44 student from 15 schools, more than double the numbers from the last zonal.
In the end, the two best teams from the previous zonal dominated this zonal to finish 1st and 2nd, but this time the results were reversed with Perth Modern coming up on top with a score of 20.5, the same score that won the Primary school division.
Rossmoyne Senior High School finished second with 16.5, with Wesley College closely behind on 16, to come in third.
The individual winners were Perth Modern's Aarnav Gupta and Lynwood Senior High School's Chinbat Chintushig both with fantastic scores of 6 out of 7. Aarnav came first with a better Buchholz. 3rd was Jin Yu Lim (Shenton College). Merit Awards were given to Jayden Singh, (Perth Modern), Eu Jin Khaw, (Harrisdale SHS), Iker Hernandez Mendez, (Bob Hawke College), James Savundra, (Wesley College), Seth Chong, (Rossmoyne ) and Windson Tang (Perth Modern). There was a three-way tie for Best Girl between Zia Choski, Ayra Ryroth and Sohansa Niyagama Gamage all from Harrisdale Senior High School.
List of Secondary School Prize Winners:
1st: Perth Modern School (20.5) - Aarnav Gupta (6.0), Jayden Singh (5.5), Windson Tang (5.0), Rayden Oliveiro (4.0), Adam Chung (3.5), Tharul Ranamuka (3.5), Mohit Napaa (3.0), Borui An (3.0)

2022 SCL West Zone
On Sunday 31st July the CAWA (Chess Association of Western Australia) once again held a tournament under the banner of the School Chess League called the Western Zonal Tournament. This was the fourth and final instalment for the year and one that would determine the finalists, to play off for the title in August. Just as the Southern Zonal saw a record number of students descend upon Corpus Christi school, the Western Zonal again broke all records for attendance as 115 students signed up to play.
This event was held at the Nedlands Primary School's Altius Centre and the fluency of the event was thanks largely to tireless work of the organisers and volunteers who made the event the success it was. After a slow start and some small registration finalising, a successful seven round tournament was able to be held involving both Primary and Secondary students and some great chess was played.
Special thanks must go to the following people for their involvement on the day:
* Dylan Gough - Senior Arbiter, set up and announcer
* Jason Gray - assistant to arbiter with the Secondary students
* John Pimenov - Technology and arbiter
* Glenda Raptis - Registration, database and result taking
* Merylena Sulak - Registration, database and result taking
* Faith Tee - Consultant and organiser
* Stacey Walker - Registration, database and result taking
* Alan Wolstencroft - Arbiter and coordinator
* Josh Davoll and Jason Gray - Arbiters and Set Up adult helpers

The Primary school section saw a huge contingent, with 68 players from 23 different schools. Our highest turnout ever and a testament to the increasing popularity of chess in our Primary schools.
The pressure was strong as this final event for the year would determine the finalists and due to the closeness of the previous event it was sure to be a tightly fought contest. At the end of the day the top three primary schools were in 3rd Oberthur Primary School with 18 points. Two points clear and in equal 1st were Midland Home School and winning the day was Nedlands Primary School who took out the title on count back with a final score of 20. As usual these results were indeed very tight and showed just how closely each game played impacted the final result. This meant that many interesting games occurred and some great results were attained.
Strong performances also by Lake Joondalup Primary, Carmel Primary and Caladenia Primary saw them fall just short of a top three spot.
Well done to all players for making it such a highly contested event.
The top primary school performers for the day were Liam Raptis, Angus Chen and Eric Deng, all scoring a great score of 6.0 out of 7. Closely followed by Southern Zonal winner Issa Majidi and his brother Nizam on 5.5. The Best Girl was Nithuli Liyange.

With all players back from tournament play the secondary competition with 16 schools and 47 players produced some great chess.
Some games were hotly contested as every result was likely to play an impact on the schools that successfully reached the finals.
The end result saw an overwhelming victory to Rossmoyne SHS, with two of their players, Yihe (Rebo) Fu and Rui Gen having unbeaten scores of 7.0 out of 7.
Southern Zonal winners Perth Modern School finished strongly in second and a great performance from Harrisdale Senior High School saw
them finish in third place and secure themselves a place in next month's finals.

2022 SCL Finals

There was a very good turnout for the School Chess League Finals which were held on Monday 22nd August at Perth Modern School. Eight Primary and six Secondary Schools competed for the chance to represent Western Australia in the 2022 National School Finals. Both divisions were run as a team round robin format. Players were ranked in approximate playing strength and each school's board 1 played each other school's board 1, etc.
The Primary division used an Allegro time limit of 15 minutes plus two seconds with seven rounds. This division developed into a very close race between Caladenia, Nedlands and Oberthur Primary Schools. Oberthur (last year’s champions) started well beating Carmel convincingly, drawing with Nedlands and then narrowly beating Lake Joondalup and Kingsway, then faltering in the penultimate round losing to Caladenia. Nedlands also started well beating Midland Home School, drawing with Oberthur and Carmel, then beating Lake Joondalup, Mt Lawley and Kingsway. Caladenia started slowly drawing with Lake Joondalup, then beating Mt. Lawley, Kingsway, Midland and Oberthur in the penultimate round. Carmel had the potential to do better, their slow start did not help but they drew with Nedlands, narrowly lost to Caladenia, beat Kingsway, Lake Joondalup, Midland and Mt Lawley, (maybe it was just not their day).
So going into the final round Caladenia were leading by half a point on 5.5 ahead of Nedlands on 5 and Oberthur on 4.5. In the last round Oberthur beat Midland and moved up to 5.5 points. The key match and the last to finish was Caladenia versus Nedlands with Caladenia needing just a match draw to be champions but this was not to be as Nedlands won 2.5 to 1.5. This meant Nedlands Primary School were the sole leaders on 6 points and became the 2022 Primary School champions. Caladenia Primary School ended up with the same match and game points as Oberthur Primary School but took second place by virtue of their win against Oberthur. An exciting end to a gripping contest. Other placings were fourth Carmel Primary School, fifth Lake Joondalup Baptist College, sixth Kingsway Christian College, seventh Mt Lawley Primary School and eighth Midlands Home School.
Congratulations to Nedlands Primary School this year's Primary School Champions. All teams acquitted themselves well and there were many closely fought games throughout all the match ups.
