Youth Tournament in Bridgewater
Youth Tournament in Bridgewater
We were quite pleased with the turnout of the Youth Tournament held
in conjunction with the Nova Scotia Open
in Bridgewater on Saturday November
14, 1998. In total 22 young people participated. This was a great
turnout considering it was organized only 9 days before the event.
Enthusiasm of the young people, the parents and teachers present
clearly dictates that we have another youth tournament in Lunenburg County
soon!
About half the participants were from Bridgewater;
but some came from as far away as Dartmouth.
Everyone was a winner. But those with most points were:
Overall Winner Curtis Robart Grade 7 (Blockhouse) 5/6 and playoff game.
Top Grades 7-9 (runner up to Curtis) Jeffery Brown Gr7 (Bridgewater)
Top Grades 4-6 (tied with 4/6) Ben Iverson (Bridgewater) Grade 5, Stefan Behme (Dartmouth) Grade 4, Daniel Layton (Bridgewater) Grade 6, Anthony Sampson (Bridgewater) Grade 6. Jonathan Penny (Bridgwater) Grade 5
Top Grades 1-3 (tied with 3/6) Spencer Landry (Bridgewater) Grade 1, Eric
Iversen (Bridgewater) Grade 3.
Honourable mention goes to Jonathan Kenney of Dartmouth who joined the tournament late and scored 3/3 against the top scorers.
Books and minature chess sets were awarded as prizes.
Thank you everyone for participating! Many thanks to Mitch Landry, principal of the Bridgewater Elementary School who helped organize this event. We will do it again!
