Hello everyone,
Now for some chess news from Fiji: Candidate Master (CM) Calvin Prasad has won the Brijlal Rapid Chess Open despite a loss to defending champion CM Manoj Kumar in the final round by virtue of tie-break. CM Goru Arvind created an upset in the last round by bating Manoj Kumar.
Goru Arvind finished at 4.5/6 alongside CM Noel Adricula to share the third and fourth positions respectively. The Intermediate Division was won by Australia-based Dr. Jashint Maharaj who scored 4.5/6, followed by Aarti Sewak at 3/6.
New Olympiad representative CM Ronald Terubea topped the Tertiary Division with 5/6, while Women’s FIDE Master (WFM) Hilda Vukikomoala came second with 3/6. In the Women’s Division, veteran and Women’s Candidate Master (WCM) Gloria Sukhu held the top position with Kabrina Terubea at 4/6.
“Brijlal Rapid Open attracted players like John Caldeira from as far as Rakiraki,” mentions President Dr. Virgilio De Asa. “We are very pleased to see the perfomance of younger players like Nahapetyan Gor and Keez Terubea who won the Primary and Secondary School’s divisions convincingly. Youngsters like Menash Fareed, Jacquelyn Masilomani, Claudia Koroi, Zen Borg and Vinooda Senewiratne also produced good results.”
With a bulk of the participants coming from primary and secondary schools, the Fiji Chess Federation hopes to see an interesting event in the National Primary and Secondary Schools Chess Championship on Sunday 27 April 2014 at Tappoo City. (Report via fiji.one.tv)

“It is a thrilling finish since it allows me back-to-back wins after the Kundan Singh Open,” states Prasad who is also the reigning National Champion. “Both Manoj and I finished at 5/6 but he had to settle for second place under a Swiss System tie-break due to his loss to Goru Arvind.”
