British Under-12 Final Round(7)

Ramsey Dairi lost for the first time in Friday’s penultimate round(6) but a win on Saturday morning, 29th July, could get him a share of first place, depending on other results. Even a draw guarantees a share of third prize. The top three pairings are

Emils Steiners(1785) 5.5 v Adithya Vaidyanathan(1870) 5;

Senith Gunorathne(1739) 5 v Ramsey Dairi(1693) 5;

Venkata Kilambi(1686) 4.5 v Alfred Soulier(1972) 5.

Whatever the result on Saturday Ramsey has had a great tournament.

1st £240 2nd £120 3rd £60.

Wow! Two huge blunders by Gunorathne at 11.25 a.m. Ramsey will surely get to 6/7 now and currently Steiners is losing on Bd 1 but it’s messy. You can get to that game on the same link.

12.30 p.m. Steiners loses and Ramsey ties first with Vaidyanathan on 6/7, joint U-12 Champions! Only Soulier can join them with a win and his game is looking very drawn. No play-offs or tiebreaks. Prize money shared, so two winners get £180 each or 3 winners £140 each. Congratulations, Ramsey! (PS: Soulier only draws so it’s just the two joint winners)
