The ACTJCL 2002 Girls' Allegro Championship 7 April 2002 Today was the Domino's ACT Girls Championships. (Many thanks to Domino's for sponsoring lunch and to Hoyts for movie ticket prizes!) It is run at 15 min per side, as most of the players tend to be inexperienced primary school girls with a sprinkling of older players. Last year there was only 1 girl over 12. This year we managed 4. Shannon Oliver was the favourite by a massive amount, but as fast chess is not a strength for her, a number of upsets was expected. However Shannon was in form and managed to easily win all her games. The older girls all played well, with under 12's, Gaya Sakthivel, Katie Logan and Kayleigh Smith performing strongly as well. Full results are:- 1 Shannon Oliver 9 First 2-3 Miona Ikeda 7 Second Gaya Sakthivel 7 Third (also eligible 1st U12) 4-6 Sophie Heath 6 Veronique Eldridge-Smith Katie Logan 1st U12 7-10 Kayleigh Smith 5½ 2nd U12 (also eligible 1st U10) Tara Smith 3rd U12 Marina Lovric 1st U10 Heather Cupitt 11-14 Emma Guo 5 1st U8 Tamzin Oliver Elly Vance-Fogl Natalie Shadwell 2nd U10 15-18 Katie Lonergan 4½ 3rd U10 Renee Krig Elly Yates Andrea Garvey 19-22 Alexandra Humphrey 4 Emily McAlister Aleksandra Ivanovic Tess Bennetts 23-26 Grace Huang 3½ Caitlin Clarke Alex James Alex Ross 27-28 Kirsty-Leigh Cairns 3 Lindsay McAlister 29-30 Jaclyn Maher 2½ Rebecca Sullivan 31 Lauren Browness 2 32 Amelia Olesen ½ Join our electronic mailing list for all the latest events by sending your details to: actjcl@hotmail.com Libby Smith Secretary ACT Junior Chess League
