The Primary school tournament had 58 players from 23 different schools.
Oberthur Primary school repeated their form of the first zonal and won this Primary division by 4 points (21.5). The next four places were taken by relative newcomers to the Schools Chess league. Dalkeith Primary School was second with 17.5 points. Not far behind them with 16 points was Subiaco Primary School. Fourth was West Leederville Primary School with 14.5 points and fifth was Queens Park Primary School with 11 points. Several schools only had two or three players, e.g. Queens Park, Christchurch, Wesley College, Maylands Peninsula, North Cottesloe. No doubt they would have done better if they could field a team of four players.
Individually Leo Gong was the deserved winner of this division with a picket fence score of 7 from 7. Second was Akash Ashok with 6 and Kaviru Perera was third with 5.5. The following received Merit Trophies: Avan Chung, Bao Ho, Jeremy Li, Lucien Lim, Prishaa Pasare, Thomas Yuen, Ethan Page and Parth Pasare. The Best Girl trophy was won by Prishaa Pasare with 5 points, a very good result in a strong field of players.

There were 57 students from 19 schools.
Three teams fielded strong teams of 8 or more players and not surprisingly they were the contenders for the top three places. Trinity College cam third with 18.5 points and Wesley College and Bob Hawke College finished one point ahead on 19.5. Due to a lower Buchholz score Wesley College had to settle for second place and Bob Hawke College were first. A very close contest between the top three teams. Fourth was Perth Modern,fifth was Guilford Grammar and sixth with only two players was Rossmoyne Senior High.
Three players dominated the individual scores. Shannon Koh finished third (6 points) with a loss to Iker Hernandez Mendez. Iker came second (6 points) with a loss to FM Rui Gen Teh , (Iker had a superior Buchholz score to Shannon). FM Rui Gen Teh was the winner with a perfect score of 7. I did not see many of the top board games as I was busy being the arbiter for the lower half of the Secondary division, but judging from the number of spectators around the top boards there were several closely fought games. The game between Iker and Rui Gen went down to the wire and decided the ultimate winner. The following were awarded Merit Trophies: Thomas Janet, Issa Majidi, Paula Gruber, Jaswanth Ram Sethuraman, Dylan Gould and Andeep Singh. Paula Gruber won the Best Girl trophy with a score of 5 points, (a very good performance in a strong field).

The Primary School tournament had 87 players from 30 different schools.
There was a surprise winner in this Division, Nedlands Primary School with a score of 19.5 points. Nedlands PS has performed well in previous years but this was the first zonal the school had entered this year. Dalkeith Primary School came second with 19 points. Dalkeith PS were leading for most of the tournament but faltered towards the end. Third with 16.5 points were Oberthur Primary School. Oberthur PS were without several of their leading players but still managed a creditable result. Fourth were Wesley College with 16 points. An excellent result with only three players. If only they had four players, they would definitely have been in the top three. Just behind Wesley College was Subiaco Primary School with 15.5 points. Sixth was West Leederville Primary School with 15 points and seventh was newcomer, Swanbourne Primary School. Swanbourne PS had 12 players in their team an excellent turnout. Below Swanbourne were five teams that had only three players, Caladenia PS, WA Russian School, Maylands Peninsula PS, Queens Park PS, and North Cottesloe PS. No doubt they would have done better if they could field a team of four players.
Individually Ishaan Dhanak was the deserved winner of this division with a score of 6.5 from 7. Second was Thomas Yuen with 6 and Kaviru Perera was third with 6.0, (lower Buchholz score). The following received Merit Trophies: Josiah Ong, Akash Ashok, Bao Gia Ho, Daniel Ye, Leo Carvin, Senudi De Vas, Harrison Trieu, Emma Chong, Jason Li, Alexandra Fleming, Iurii Kustov, Zeno Brackenridge and Felix Moler. The Best Girl trophy was won by Senudi De Vas with 5 points, a good result in a strong field of players.

There were 47 students from 23 schools.
The Secondary School group developed into a two-horse race between Shenton College and Rossmoyne Senior High School. The winner was Shenton College by half a point. Rossmoyne only had three players (no doubt if they had a team of four, they would have come top). Perth Modern School, Trinity College and Melville Senior High School vied for third, fourth and fifth places. Perth Modern had to settle for fifth place (handicapped by only having three players), fourth was Trinity College and third by halfa point was Melville. An excellent result for what is a relative newcomer to the Schools Chess league.
FM Rui Gen Teh was the deserved individual winner of this division with 6.5 from 7. The quest for a picket fence score was halted by a draw in the last round with Eric Deng. Eric came second with 5.5 and Yonal De Vas third with the same score but a lower Buchholz.The following were awarded Merit Trophies: Ilya Eimery, Leo Gong, Florentyna Rithauddin, Yuqi (Ricky) Huang, Leo Carlson. Florentyna Rithauddin won the Best Girl trophy with a score of 5 points, (a very good performance in a strong field).
List of Secondary School winners:
1st: Shenton College (18.0) - Jacy Lu (4.5), Matvei Popkov (4.5), Jason Lee (4.5), Shiven Sanap (4.5), Abhinav Verma (4.0) & Nithuli Liyange (4.0).
2nd: Rossmoyne Senior High School (17.5) - Rui Gen Teh (6.5), Yonal De Vas (5.5) & Ilya Eimery (5.5).
3rd: Melville Senior High School - (13.0) Sebastian Walker (4.5), Jonah Pangiarella (4.0), Liam bailey (2.5), Griffin Walker (2.0) & James Chang (1.5).
(The top four players from each of these teams won a trophy).
A busy day for our volunteers, without whose help the SCL tournaments would not be possible: Devaraj Ashok (Arbiter), Gareth De Klerk, (result and data entry), Dylan Gough (Arbiter), Tim Hare (CAWA property manager- equipment provider), Carvin Kumar - Junior Vice-President (general organisation, preparation of Vega files and results), Rekha Kumar (results and general organisation), Pravin Pasare (Arbiter), Sanjeewa Perera (Arbiter), Srikuhan Raveendran (Arbiter), Faith Tee (trophies) and Hui Lam Teh (Chief Arbiter). Many thanks to the WA Bridge Club in allowing us to use this excellent venue, in particular Sylvia Bray (President), Martin Doran, (Secretary) and Pauline who came along after the tournament and help us tidy up afterwards.

The Primary School tournament had 68 players from 23 different schools.
There was a very closely fought race between five schools, namely Subiaco Primary School (fifth with 15.5), The WA Russian School (fourth with 16.0), Nedlands Primary School (third with 16.5), Dalkeith Primary School (second with 17.0) and Oberthur Primary school (first with 17.0). Very little difference in points separated these five teams and the top two positions were decided by the Vega software countback system. So, Dalkeith Primary School had to settle for second place and Oberthur Primary School were first, but the reality is that very little separated these two team's efforts.
Individually it was a close race between several players with Kaviru Perera and Jet Mahanidis both finishing on a score of 6.5 from 7. Kaviru had a superior Buchholz score and came first and Jet came second. A great effort by both players. Only half a point behind them was Daniel Ye who lost to Jet in the 4th round. The following received Merit Trophies: Isaac Li, Ishaan Dhanak, Akash Ashok, Jayden Tseng, Leo Carvin, Henry Ha, Ethan Page and Inga Kim. The Best Girl trophy was won by Inga Kim with 5 points, a good result in a strong field of players.
List of Primary School Prize Winners:
1st: Oberthur Primary School (17.0) - Jayden Tseng (5.0), Manning Downes (4.5), Ford Cu (4.5), Evan Wang (3.0) and Zechariah Lim (2.0).
2nd: Dalkeith Primary School (17.0) - Ethan Page (5.0), Bao Gia Ho (4.5), Thomas Yeun (4.5), Alexander Huang (3.0), Audrey Tan (3.0) & Elizabeth Huang (3.0).
3rd: Nedlands Primary School (16.5) - Henry Ha (5.0), Harrison Trieu (4.0), Emma Chong (5.0), Alexandra Fleming (4.0) & Ray Du (3.5).

There were 44 students from 15 schools.
The Secondary School group had several potential contenders for the top team prize. Newcomers to the Schools Chess league this year, Melville Senior High School finished sixth with 14 points. Fifth was Perth Modern School with 14.5. Fourth was Bob Hawke College with 15.5 points and third was Duncraig Senior High School with 17. The two top teams were Trinity College and Shenton College. Trinity was second with 18 points and the winners were Shenton College. Shenton secured the top spot with a strong performance by all their players.
Jack Uhlmann was the deserved individual winner of this division with 6.5 from 7. The quest for a picket fence score was halted by a draw in the sixth round with Om Patel. Following closely on the Jack's heels was Abhinav Verma who lost to Jack in the fifth round (Abhinav's only loss). Florentyna Rithauddin was third.
The following were awarded Merit Trophies: Cooper Scarff, Eamon Harris, Leo Gong, Sebastian Walker & Sebastian Gough.
The trophy for Best Girl was decided in the last round with Kobe Wu playing against Florentyna Rithauddin. In a tense endgame struggle Florentyna won to secure the Best Girl trophy with a score of 5.5 points (a very good performance in a strong field).
List of Secondary School Winners:
1st: Shenton College (19.5) - Abhinav Verma (6.0), Cooper Scarff (5.0), Nithuli Liyange (4.5), Jason Lee (4.0), Matvei Popkov (4.0) & Warren Nguyen (3.5).
2nd: Trinity College (18.0) - Jack Uhlmann (6.5), Henry Gebauer (4.5), Isaac Quadros (4.0) & Thomas Batten (3.0).

Once again, our trusty volunteers handled the tournament with aplomb. They were Devaraj Ashok (Arbiter), Gareth De Klerk, (results and data entry), Dylan Gough (Arbiter), Tim Hare (CAWA property manager - equipment provider), Carvin Kumar - Junior Vice-President (general organisation, preparation of Vega files and results), Rekha Kumar (results and general organisation), Pravin Pasare (Arbiter), Sanjeewa Perera (Arbiter), Faith Tee (trophies) and Hui Lam Teh (Chief Arbiter). Many thanks to Duncraig Senior High School in allowing us to use their large gym which was a very good playing venue.

The School Chess League Finals was held on Sunday, 25th August at North Woodvale Primary School. Seven Primary and eight Secondary Schools competed for the chance to represent Western Australia in the 2024 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. An Allegro time limit was used, 15 minutes plus two seconds.
In both divisions there were no surprise with the favourites Oberthur Primary School and Rossmoyne Senior School winning the Primary and Second Divisions respectively. Oberthur completely dominated the Primary School Division winning all their team games with only one draw and one loss out of 24 games. The main interest in the Primary division was the race for second and third place. Christchurch Grammar proved to be the most consistent with four team wins and a draw with Wesley College. The race for third place was between Dalkeith and Nedlands Primary Schools. Nedlands faltered in the last two round with losses to a Christchurch and Dalkeith, leaving Dalkeith Primary School in third place.
Rossmoyne Senior High School dominated the Secondary division with six team wins and one draw, (against Shenton College). The second and third places were closely contested by Perth Modern School and Shenton College. They tied on their team match results. However, Perth Modern had won more individual games so they took second place. Shenton College had to settle for third place. Still a good result for Shenton College who earlier this year won the third and fourth zonal competitions.
Congratulations to Rossmoyne Senior High School and Oberthur Primary School who have earned the right to play in the Australian Schools Championship to be played this year in Perth in early December.

2024 SCL Girls Finals
The School Chess League Girls Final was held on Sunday, 14th September at Nedlands Primary School. There was a record turnout for this event with 44 competitors. There were two divisions Primary and Secondary school. Both divisions were run on the Swiss Vega system.
In the Primary division there were 30 entrants with three schools having a full complement of four or more players, namely Dalkeith, Subiaco and West Leederville Primary Schools. Naturally it developed into a race between these three schools. After a few rounds Subiaco PS and Dalkeith PS were vying for first place. In the end Dalkeith were the winners, Subiaco second and West Leederville third. Nedlands PS were fourth and if they could have fielded four players would likely have had some impact on the final places. Senudi De Vas won the Individual Primary school trophy, with Pasare Prishaa second and Alexandra Fleming third. Marking a new trend for this competition trophies were also awarded to players with an ACF rating below 600. The winner was Nandin Batbold, followed by Khatangua Nyamdari (second) and Uranbaigali Uunanbaatar (third). Merit awards were given to 7 players.
In the Secondary division there were 14 players. Presbyterian Ladies College were the only school to field a team of four or more players so not surprisingly they won the school's event. Kobe Wu won the individual event followed by Nithuli Liyanage and Paula Gruber. As per the Primary Division trophies were also awarded to players with an ACF rating below 600. The winner was Belle Ishgavaa, followed by Oliva Hou (second) and Elise Sova (third). Merit awards were given to 2 players.
Congratulations to Presbyterian Ladies College and Dalkeith Primary School who have earned the right to play in the Australian Schools Championship to be played this year in Perth in early December.

Firstly, acknowledgments to all the players and parents as this was the most well-behaved junior tournament I have been involved with for some time. Many thanks to our group of volunteers: Dennis Holland (Arbiter), Carvin Kumar (preparation of the database and general supervision), Brian Sova (Arbiter), Hui Lam Teh (Chief Arbiter) & Jennifer Wang (database entry and general organisation).
Finally, thanks to Nedlands Primary School for allowing us to use the Altius Centre for this tournament.
