St Mary’s
College student Jarryon Paul scored 4.5
points from five rounds to win the Under
1800 section of the open junior tournament
organised by the T&T Chess Foundation at St
Augustine Girls High School last Saturday.
The
tournament attracted a total of 80
youngsters from various parts of the country
and was the first of the monthly contests
intended to prepare juniors for the
Foundation’s Caribbean Chess Carnival which
comes off at the Queen’s Park Oval in
August.
In the
Under 1000 category, Jonathan Miller, nephew
of the chess-playing Fortune brothers,
Angelo and David, won from a field of 18
players, scoring 6 out of 7 points. The
tie-breaker, however, had to separate him
and Rayhan Stephenson and Jade Noreiga who
also finished on six points.
