2017 NEW YEAR TOURNAMENT

Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club had a great turnout for our new year scholastic chess tournament this past Saturday, January 28, 2017. There were a total of 16 players vying for various trophies and prizes.   The field of 16 players was split into two sections, an open section (Class A) and a U1000 section (Class B). The kids and parents were all great and we couldn’t have asked for a better group.  Special donations (Harry Potter merchandises & chess books!) were provided for winners to take as a prize.

 

The TD, Alex A., and Teacher Misaki settled any type of dispute that arose during the game. When two or more players ended up with the same score, we had a blitz chess play-off, in which they play one game of five-minute chess to determine who wins which trophy.

Class A winners:

Class A: Haruto Endo with 5.0/5.0

Class A: Ryousuke Sugimoto with 4.0/5.0

Class A: Shota Osaka with 3.0/5.0

Class A: Kai Tatsumi with 3.0/5.0

Class B winners:

Class B: Umarbek Bakhodirjonov with 4.0/5.0

Class B: Haruto Murase with 3.5/5.0

Class B: Anastasia Lioubimova with 3.0/5.0

Class B: Dylan Bell with 3.0/5.0

Class B: Dylan Cha with 3.0/5.0

 

The 1st place winner of each section received free entry fee for the 8th scholastic chess tournament this summer, 2017. 

Thanks to International Master Ryosuke Nanjo and FIDE Master Anton Frisk Kockum for help with monitoring the games and/or helping to set up and break down everything. Also, thank you for being the best photographer, Emi Hasegawa, in the chess world! It was a huge help and much appreciated.  Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to all the players who came out to compete.  The next batch of tournaments is just around the corner, so be sure to register for your chance to win.
