Aurora <strong>Chess</strong> Club continues to run its 6-week Winter Swiss Tournament with<br />
thirty four eager players and a seventy minute time control with a fifteen second time<br />
increment. The time control (somewhat of an experiment) was well received by the<br />
players, however we will be mixing it up from tournament to tournament and the next is<br />
likely to have a longer playing time. Newcomer, Michael Hancock (1361) heads up the<br />
leaderboard followed by Mickey Stein (1868). Colin Ruan (1322) is biting at their heels<br />
in third place. A player to watch is definitely Dave Robinson who is a newcomer to<br />
competitive chess and the Aurora <strong>Chess</strong> Club – but certainly a player with a sting in his<br />
tail.<br />
We’ve seen an upsurge in the playing skill of many juniors in the club over the<br />
last few months. Players to note who are on the up are Dorian Kang (912), Nicholas Wu<br />
(1256) and Aidan Mo (1138). It’s inspiring to see these young folk join the CFC rated<br />
competitions, both in club time as well as at weekends and they regularly strike fear into<br />
the hearts of the adult members of the chess club during pairing.<br />
It’s interesting to note, however, that there has certainly been improvement in the<br />
playing strength of some of the adult members – while ratings have been slow to catch<br />
up, there is a definite trend of lower rated players winning games against higher rated<br />
players. We can only hope that the club’s strength will go up over this year for both<br />
young and old.<br />
