2014 State Allegro Championship

Played at the North Woodvale Primary School on the 16th of March 2014


The 2014 State Allegro Championship was held at the North Woodvale Primary School as a nine round event. There were 21 players who had a challenging day of Chess starting with three upsets in the very first round.

The event was won by Tristan Boyd with a score of 8.5/9.0 after only dropping a draw to Mike Partis. Mike is a six times winner of this event and has the most number of wins recorded in the CAWA records.The second most prolific winner is Haydn Barber with five wins.

Second place was shared by Ihsan Ferozkohi and George Carolyn-Unkovich on a score of 6.5. Ihsan was last year�s winner and George is a future year�s winner. The under 1900 division was won by Alex Janceski who was fourth overall with a score of 6.0. Sharing second place in this group was Edik Gilmetdinov, Nedeljko Tomic, Aileen Fisher and Gordon Dunlop, all on a score 5.0.

The under 1550 division was won by Stevan Mijailovic also with a score of 5.0. Sharing second place was Sri Dharmapuri, Ignatious Yap and Norbert Muller all with a score of 4.0.

While many mistakes were made including queens left to be taken (even my own in the first round) there were few administrative errors needing calls to the playing DOP and the tournament ran smoothly finishing on time. There was a small delay at the start. Although due partly to computer problems, participants are requested to ensure they email their entry early so that the draw can be set up before the day and tournaments can be started at the advertised time.
