2009 Kapiti Rapid

Sunday 20 September 2009. A field of 38 players ensured the annual Kapiti Rapid 6 round tournament was another success. Anthony Ker wiped the field clean with an impressive 6 point sweep—perhaps his most difficult game of the day was round one against the mighty Kapiti Chess Club battler, Mike O’Rorke who played a brilliant 62 move game with some draw potentials? Junior Alan Ansell and Wellington’s Ross Jackson  played above their weights and finished with an impressive 4.5 points, along with Edward Lee and former Kapiti player Martin Hill.

Kapiti’s David Paul and Dennis Sosnoski kept the top B grade prize in Kapiti’s hands for a second year running with 3.5 point finishes. Junior Ryan Hill also played well in this grade with 3 points along with Kapiti’s Mike O’Rorke. Argentinian Sebastian Manzt supply of Mate tea possibly helped him to also finish with 3 points in the B Grade.

Anil Jhurane took the C Grade prize, with 3.5 points—this result will boost his rating—followed closely  on 3, by Juniors Michael Yuan, Tawan Sunathvanichka, and James Stewart.

The Junior prize was shared by Ryan Lee, Pasan Pahalawatta and David Kweon—names to be watched closely as future champions maybe?
