Start of Season Rapid Dominated by Brandon "The Unstoppable" ...
Our Start of Season Rapid event took place on 25 August, a nice Sunday afternoon, at our Sheung Wan chess centre. Twenty four players warmed up to the new season, a good blend of new faces and good old hands.
Xingyuan (white) and Brandon set up the pieces after a quick win by Brandon in the last round
With over 20 players we had trophies ready for the Top 6 in addition to Best Girl and Best Age Category trophies.

The Top 6 was dominated by Brandon scoring the full 5 points, including wins against the players and long term Caissa friends who ended 2nd (Zeth) and 3rd place (Kin Ho) with 4 points - that is an impressive result from Brandon. Kyle was the other 4-pointer, ending 4th on tie-break. Zachary L and Ellie led the pack of eight 3-pointers, as such claiming 5th and 6th Place trophies.
