The 2011 State Lightning Championship was played at the Moresby Street Centre, Kensington on the 25th of September. Once again, WA players showed that they enjoy playing in Lightning events. We started out with 33 entries, so Rudy Williams volunteered to play and avoid the bye. When it became clear that Alex Kreivez was not going to make it, Rudy withdrew as well. However, 32 entries (including 14 Juniors) is still pleasing. The tournament was quite strong, as well. Stephanus Kurniawan won his first WA Lightning Championship with an excellent score of 10 points from 11 rounds. His only loss was to Tristan Boyd in Round 6, after which he was out of the lead until Yita Choong beat Tristan in the second last round. Yita Choong, Bozidar Mandic and Tom Donaldson were all in contention at various stages. Alan Wolstonecroft had a very good result, standing up for mature age players against a tide of young players taking away the Rating Prizes. Report by Haydn Barber. |
